EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, created between 1816 and 1830, depicts two elegant waterbirds: the Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) and the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo). The illustration is taken from the "Dictionnaire de Naturaliste: Omnithologie" ornithology section of Dumont de Sainte-Croix's Dictionary of Natural Science, published by F.G. Levrault in Paris, France. The Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger), depicted on the left, is a unique bird with a distinctive bill shape that allows it to feed by skimming the water's surface. Its black plumage and white underparts create a striking contrast, making it easily recognizable. On the right, the Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) is shown in its elegant, slender form. With its white body, black cap, and orange-red bill, this bird is a common sight along coastal areas and inland waters. The illustration was produced by Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was executed by Massard, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. This historical artwork is an exquisite example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized natural history illustrations of the early 19th century. The handcoloring adds vibrancy and depth to the engraving, making it a beautiful addition to any collection focused on ornithology, zoology, or the history of natural science.
