EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the European Green Woodpecker, Picus viridis, and the Eurasian Wryneck, Jynx torquilla. Created between 1816 and 1830 in Paris, France, this illustration is a masterpiece from Dumont de Sainte-Croix's Dictionary of Natural Science: Ornithology. The artwork was illustrated by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and engraved by Rebel under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Published by F.G. Levrault, this image showcases the intricate details of these two fascinating birds. The European Green Woodpecker, also known as the Yaffle, is a large and distinctive woodpecker with a bright green back and wings, a red crest, and a red patch on the nape of its neck. The Eurasian Wryneck, on the other hand, is a small, slender ground-dwelling bird with a distinctive undulating body movement. It has a black and white striped back, a red crown, and a red eye stripe. This exquisite engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the naturalists and artists of the time, who meticulously documented the natural world around them. Jean Gabriel Pretre's illustrations were renowned for their accuracy and beauty, making this a valuable addition to any collection of historical ornithological works.
