EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Greater Flameback, 1833-39" transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing the exquisite artistry of French School. The print is part of a private collection and was originally published in "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" between 1833 and 1839 by Felix Edouard Guerin-Meneville. The artwork depicts a stunning Greater Flameback woodpecker, also known as Sultanspecht or Weisspecht. With intricate details and vibrant colors, this illustration brings the bird's beauty to life. The Greater Flameback is native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in the Philippines and Dominican Republic. As we admire this piece, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its scientific significance. The engraving provides an educational insight into ornithology during that era when naturalists were documenting various species for further study. This particular print showcases Chrysocolaptes lucidus (Greater Flameback) alongside Melanerpes candidus (White Woodpecker), highlighting their distinct features and characteristics. It serves as a testament to the meticulous observation skills of both artist and scientist alike. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's efforts in preserving historical artworks like these, we have access to this remarkable piece today. This image from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the intersection of art and science while
