EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the majestic Owl Strix longirostris in all its glory. The intricate details and delicate lines of this engraved image, taken from Avium species novae per Brasiliam by Johann Baptiste Spix and Karl Friedrich P. von Martinus in 1839, transport us back to a time when scientific exploration was at its peak. The vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate the full length of this remarkable bird, emphasizing its elegant posture as it perches on a branch. With no people present, our attention is solely focused on the owl itself, highlighting its solitary nature and mysterious allure.

The Owl Strix longirostris stands out with its distinctive features - a long beak that sets it apart from other owls. Its piercing gaze seems to penetrate our very souls, leaving us captivated by its enigmatic presence. This enchanting engraving serves as a testament to both artistry and scientific discovery during the 19th century.
