EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1839 showcases the beauty and diversity of bird species found in Western Africa. The print features three magnificent birds: the Western plantain-eater, the endangered saker falcon, and the peregrine falcon. The Western plantain-eater, also known as Crinifer piscator, is depicted with its vibrant plumage and distinctive crest. This bird adds a splash of color to the composition with its striking blue and yellow feathers. Next to it stands the majestic saker falcon (Falco cherrug), an endangered species known for its impressive hunting skills. With its sharp gaze and powerful wingspan, this bird exudes strength and grace. Lastly, we have the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), another remarkable predator renowned for its incredible speed during flight. Its sleek form is captured beautifully in this engraving, showcasing its agility as it soars through the sky. Created by Jean Gabriel Pretre and handcolored by Fournier, this engraving is part of Achille Richards' Oeuvres Completes de Buffon collection. It highlights not only these fascinating avian creatures but also demonstrates scientific methods used in natural history studies during that era. With intricate details and vivid colors brought to life through handcoloring techniques, this print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific exploration. It offers viewers a glimpse into nature's wonders while celebrating France's rich cultural heritage in natural sciences.
