EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving on steel, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases a captivating moment in the world of ornithology. The image features four distinct bird species: the Nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos), Goldcrest (Regulus regulus), Cinereous Tit (Parus cinereus), and Great Tit (Parus major). The Nightingale, a small yet powerful singer, is depicted perched on a holly bush (Ilex aquifolium), its vibrant orange-brown plumage contrasting against the lush green foliage. The Goldcrest, the smallest European bird, clings to an ivy vine (Hedera helix) nearby, its olive-green back and bright yellow underparts creating a striking visual contrast. The Cinereous Tit and Great Tit, both members of the tit family, can be seen in the foreground. The Cinereous Tit, with its grayish-brown plumage and distinctive crest, is perched on a twig, while the Great Tit, with its black and white striped head and bright red breast, sits on a holly berry. This intricately detailed engraving is taken from the "New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The work of Edouard Travies and Annedouche captures the essence of these birds, providing a historical record of their appearance and a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
