EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving on steel, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, captures the enchanting moment when a Long-eared Owl and a Barn Owl come together in an unexpected encounter. The image is taken from Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Long-eared Owl, represented on the left, is depicted with its distinctive ear tufts, which are actually just feathers, not ears. Its large, yellow eyes are fixed intently on the Barn Owl, which faces it with a curious expression. The Barn Owl, with its heart-shaped face and round, golden eyes, seems to be equally intrigued by the Long-eared Owl's presence. The setting of the engraving is a ruined church, which adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The use of handcoloring brings the birds to life, making their feathers appear rich and vibrant. The intricate details of their plumage and the textures of their surroundings are beautifully rendered, making this a stunning work of ornithological art. Edouard Travies, the artist behind the original drawing, was a renowned naturalist and illustrator of his time. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects made him a favorite among collectors and scholars. The engraving by Annedouche faithfully reproduces his work, providing a window into the natural world of the past. This historical image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world, as well as the skill and artistry of the naturalists and illustrators who documented it. It is a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological art or historical prints.
