EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by the skilled artist Peter Brown for Marmaduke Tunstall's "New Illustrations of Zoology" published by B. White in London in 1776, showcases two intriguing birds native to Mauritius: the Red-headed Finch (Amadina erythrocephala, formerly known as Fringilla erythrocephala) and an unknown Brown Warbler. The Red-headed Finch, with its vibrant, fiery-red crown and orange-yellow beak, is a striking contrast to its otherwise plain brown plumage. This bird is native to Mauritius and is now considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species. The Brown Warbler, on the other hand, remains a mystery. The lack of identification in the caption suggests that it was not yet classified during Tunstall's time. The Brown Warbler appears to have a brown back, wings, and tail, with a lighter underbelly and a distinct eye ring. The presence of this unidentified warbler in Tunstall's collection further highlights the importance of this work in documenting the natural history of Mauritius during the late 18th century. The meticulous detail in the engraving, from the individual feathers on the birds to the intricate patterns on their beaks, is a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship of the time. This image not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also as an essential contribution to the historical record of the natural world.
