EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, created between 1816 and 1830, showcases two captivating birds of the African savannah: the Long-winged Harrier (Circus buffoni) and the Secretarybird (Sagittarius serpentarius). The Long-winged Harrier, also known as Buff-breasted Harrier, is depicted in flight with its long, pointed wings and slender body, showcasing its agile and graceful nature. The Secretarybird, on the other hand, is depicted in a more static pose, standing tall and proud with its distinctive plumage and long, curved beak. This illustration is taken from the "Dictionnaire de Natural Histoire: Ornithologie" (Dictionary of Natural Science: Ornithology) by Frederic Cuvier, a renowned French naturalist and zoologist. The illustration was created by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was executed by Guyard, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and engravers involved. The use of handcoloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art. This beautiful illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of these two African birds but also provides a glimpse into the rich history of ornithology and the dedication of the scientists and artists who documented the natural world during this time.
