EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of nature's feathered wonders - the Bokmakierie and violet-backed starling. Created in 1839 by Edouard Travies, this exquisite engraving captures the essence of these two remarkable bird species. Intricately handcoloured by Fournier after an illustration by Jean-Gabriel Pretre, this artwork is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of its time. The Bokmakierie, scientifically known as Telophorus zeylonus, stands proudly with its vibrant plumage and distinct black breastplate. Its striking appearance is complemented by the presence of a magnificent violet-backed starling, Cinnyricinclus leucogaster. The composition exudes harmony as these avian creatures coexist within their natural habitat. This piece not only celebrates their individual beauty but also highlights their significance within the animal kingdom. Originating from Achille Richards Oeuvres Completes de Buffon, this engraving holds historical value as it contributes to our understanding of early scientific methods and zoological studies during the 19th century. It serves as a visual representation of France's rich cultural heritage and its dedication to natural history exploration. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured centuries ago, we are reminded of the timeless allure found in wildlife photography. Through artistry and precision, Bridgeman Images has preserved this moment for generations to appreciate and admire nature's extraordinary creations.
