EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1839 showcases the beauty of two exotic bird species, the Amazonian royal flycatcher and the brown-throated wattle-eye. The print, created by Edouard Travies and handcolored by Fournier, is a stunning example of natural history illustration. The Amazonian royal flycatcher, scientifically known as Onychorhynchus coronatus, is depicted in all its regal glory. With its vibrant plumage and elegant crest, this bird exudes grace and majesty. Its counterpart in this artwork is the brown-throated wattle-eye (Platysteira cyanea), a small but equally striking bird native to Senegal with its distinctive blue coloration. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable. Every feather seems to come alive on paper, capturing the essence of these magnificent creatures. This piece was part of Achille Richards' Oeuvres Completes de Buffon collection published in Paris during that time period. Not only does this artwork showcase the artistic talent of Travies and Fournier, but it also serves as an important scientific document for zoologists and naturalists alike. It provides valuable insight into avian diversity and contributes to our understanding of wildlife during the 19th century. This print reminds us of both the delicate beauty found within nature's creations and humanity's ongoing fascination with exploring and documenting our world's biodiversity.
