EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving depicts the elegant and graceful Greater Flamingo, Phoenicopterus roseus, in its natural habitat. The image, created by the skilled hands of Clerge and Lalaisse after an original illustration by Edouard Travies, was published in Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History) in Paris, 1849. The Greater Flamingo is the largest of the six species of flamingos and is easily recognizable by its pink coloration, long legs, and distinctive curved beak. These birds are found in various parts of the world, including Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Asia, and are often found in large colonies in shallow, saline lakes and lagoons. The Greater Flamingo is a filter feeder, using its long, curved beak to siphon water and filter out small organisms, such as brine shrimp and algae, from the water. They are also known for their unique pink coloration, which comes from the beta-carotene and astaxanthin in their diet. This beautiful engraving not only showcases the natural beauty of the Greater Flamingo but also highlights the intricate details and artistry of the illustration and engraving techniques of the time. It serves as a reminder of the rich natural history knowledge that was being documented and shared during the 19th century.
