EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving, titled "Pyrenestes sanguineus sanguineus, or Crimson Seedcracker," is an exquisite example of Victorian-era ornithological illustration. The image, created by William Lizars after an original illustration by William John Swainson, was published in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1837. The Crimson Seedcracker, also known as the Crimson Nutcracker or the Crimson-rumped Seedcracker, is a medium-sized bird native to West Africa. The vibrant red plumage of this bird is beautifully captured in the engraving, with intricate detailing on its feathers and beak. The bird is depicted perched on a branch, surrounded by a lush and diverse tropical landscape. In the background, several palm trees, including the Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera), dominate the scene. Banana plants (Musa paradisiaca) and sugarcane (Saccharum officinale) are also visible, highlighting the importance of these crops in the region. The presence of the Iris germanica, Poets' Daffodil (Narcissus poeticus), Fern (Cymbidium), and Echinocarpon, adds a touch of botanical diversity and beauty to the image. This engraving is a testament to the rich history of natural science and botany during the 19th century. The work of Jardine, Swainson, Lizars, and other naturalists and illustrators of the time contributed significantly to the scientific understanding of the natural world, particularly in Africa. The use of handcolouring and the intricate stipple engraving technique further enhances the visual appeal of this historical work. The illustration was published in Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali, a comprehensive natural science dictionary published in Florence, Italy, in 1837. This engraving is a valuable resource for both ornithological and botanical research, as well as a stunning work of art in its own right.
