EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Atlantic canary and European serin" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century natural history. Created by Edouard Travies in 1839, this handcoloured steel engraving showcases two exquisite bird species - the Atlantic canary (Serinus canaria) and the European serin (Serinus serinus). The delicate artistry of Travies is evident in every intricate detail of these birds' plumage and features. The vibrant colors bring life to their feathers, making them appear almost lifelike on paper. As we gaze upon this print from a private collection, we are transported to an era when scientific exploration was at its peak. The Atlantic canary, also known as Fringilla canaria or le serin des Canaries, is a symbol of beauty and song. Its melodious tunes have captivated humans for centuries. Alongside it stands the European serin or le serin de Provence, another charming songbird found across Europe. This engraving not only celebrates the avian wonders but also pays homage to Buffon's comprehensive works on natural history. It serves as a testament to scientific curiosity during that time period. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and the invaluable contributions made by early zoologists like Travies and Buffon. Through their dedication and passion for understanding nature's marvels, they left an indelible mark on our knowledge of wildlife in France and beyond.
