EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "King Penguin, 1833-39" is a remarkable piece of artwork from the 19th century. Created by an anonymous French artist and part of a private collection, this print showcases the beauty and intricacy of nature. The image is taken from "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" a publication by Felix Edouard Guérin-Méneville between 1833 and 1839. The book aimed to provide readers with a comprehensive visual dictionary of natural history. In this particular illustration, we see a majestic King Penguin standing tall amidst its icy surroundings. Its regal posture exudes confidence and grace as it gazes into the distance. The vibrant colors used in the engraving bring out every detail of its feathers, making them appear almost lifelike. Interestingly, accompanying the penguin in this artwork is another creature - a mandrill monkey. This unexpected pairing adds an element of surprise to the composition, highlighting both animals' unique characteristics. Overall, this engraving serves as a testament to the talent and skill of artists during that era. It not only captures the essence of these magnificent creatures but also invites viewers to appreciate their beauty through artistry and precision.
