EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a unique encounter between two extraordinary creatures - the Yellow-crested cockatoo and the greater naked-tailed armadillo. Created by Jacques Reyne Isidore Acarie-Baron, this handcoloured steel engraving is a true masterpiece. The Yellow-crested cockatoo, known for its vibrant plumage and distinctive crest, is critically endangered today. Its beauty and rarity are beautifully captured in this print. Standing beside it is the greater naked-tailed armadillo, also known as Cabassous tatouay. This intriguing creature with its armored shell adds an element of curiosity to the scene. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, showcasing Acarie-Baron's skill as an artist. The delicate strokes bring out every feather on the cockatoo's body and highlight each scale on the armadillo's shell. Originally featured in Felix-Edouard Guerin-Menevilles Dictionnaire Pittoresque d Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), Paris, 1834-39, this print offers a glimpse into the scientific exploration of that era. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with nature and our desire to understand and document its wonders. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness these magnificent creatures up close. Their presence reminds us of both their vulnerability and resilience in a rapidly changing world.
