EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, drawn and engraved by Adolph Fries, showcases two fascinating species of the natural world: the Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo (Dicrurus remifer) and the Eurasian Eagle-owl (Bubo bubo). The Lesser Racket-tailed Drongo, a native of Southeast Asia, is a small, agile bird with a distinctive long, graduated tail feathers that resemble racket handles. The drongo is known for its ability to mimic various sounds, making it a master of deception in the forest. The Eurasian Eagle-owl, on the other hand, is a powerful and stealthy predator, with piercing yellow eyes and broad, ear-like tufts. This nocturnal bird of prey is widely distributed across Europe, Asia, and Africa. The intricate details of their plumage, beaks, and other features are beautifully rendered in this engraving, which is a testament to the skill and artistry of Adolph Fries and the Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History, published in Paris between 1834 and 1839 by Felix-Edouard Guerin-Méneville. This image invites us to appreciate the diversity and beauty of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving it for future generations.
