EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of the Southern Brown Kiwi or Apteryx australis, also known as the Tokoeka. The image, taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838, offers a close-up view of the kiwi's distinctive beak and foot. The Southern Brown Kiwi is a flightless bird native to New Zealand, and is the most common of the five kiwi species found in the country. They are characterized by their long, downward-curving beaks, which they use to probe the forest floor for food, and their powerful legs, which are covered in scaly, brown feathers. The Southern Brown Kiwi plays a significant role in New Zealand's natural history, as they were once hunted to near extinction for their meat and feathers. However, conservation efforts have helped to stabilize their population, and they can now be found in various protected areas throughout the country. This illustration not only showcases the physical features of the Southern Brown Kiwi but also provides a glimpse into the natural history of New Zealand during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the hand-coloring add to the beauty and accuracy of the engraving, making it a valuable addition to any collection of zoological or natural history art.
