EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1839 showcases the magnificent beauty of two remarkable bird species - the Greater rhea and the southern cassowary. Created by Edouard Travies, a renowned French artist, this handcoloured engraving is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of these creatures in stunning detail. The image depicts a Greater rhea, scientifically known as Rhea americana, alongside a southern cassowary, also referred to as Casuarius casuarius. Both birds are native to different regions but share an undeniable allure that has captivated naturalists for centuries. Rendered with precision and skill by Fournier after Travies' original illustration, this print was featured in Achille Richards Oeuvres Completes de Buffon - a comprehensive collection dedicated to natural history. The intricate details of each feather and their vibrant colors bring these birds to life on paper. As you gaze upon this artwork, you can't help but be drawn into their world - imagining them roaming freely through lush landscapes or gracefully navigating their habitats. It serves as a reminder of the diverse wonders found within our planet's wildlife. This enchanting engraving not only celebrates the beauty of nature but also pays homage to scientific exploration during the 19th century. It stands as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific curiosity - bridging the gap between art and science seamlessly. Whether you appreciate ornithology or simply admire fine art, this print is sure to spark joy and wonderment within your heart.
