EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving on steel, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases three intriguing waterbirds: the Sunbittern (Eurypyga helia), Purple Swamphen (Porphyrio porphyrio), and Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus). Originally published in Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837, this exquisite artwork offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The Sunbittern, with its striking plumage and unique posture, is the largest of the three birds depicted. Its body is adorned with a mix of black, white, and chestnut feathers, while its wings are covered in iridescent green and blue feathers that resemble the scales of a fish. The Sunbittern is native to Central and South America and is known for its ability to stand motionless in the sun with its wings spread out, resembling a small, flat-bottomed boat. The Purple Swamphen, also known as the Purple Gallinule, is easily recognizable by its vibrant purple and green plumage. This bird is native to wetlands in Europe, Africa, and Asia, and is an excellent swimmer and diver. It is often mistaken for a gallinule or a small heron due to its similar appearance. The Common Moorhen, the smallest of the three birds, is a widespread and adaptable species found in wetlands throughout the world. Its brown and black plumage, with a distinct red bill and legs, makes it well-camouflaged in its environment. The Common Moorhen is an omnivorous bird, feeding on a variety of plants, insects, and small animals. This stunning engraving not only showcases the beauty of these three birds but also provides a historical record of their appearance and natural history, as documented by the renowned naturalist Comte de Buffon and his team of skilled artists and engravers.
