EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the remarkable Kiwi bird, Apteryx australis, in all its glory. Created by Auguste Dumenil and handcolored with meticulous detail, this steel engraving is a true work of art. The illustration itself originates from A. Carie Baron's contribution to Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's renowned Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris between 1834 and 1839. The Kiwi bird, native to New Zealand, is beautifully depicted in this print. Its unique features are brought to life through the vibrant colors meticulously added by Dumenil. This enchanting creature stands as a symbol of New Zealand's rich biodiversity and serves as an emblematic representation of their natural heritage. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the early years of the 19th century when explorers and naturalists were fascinated by the wonders of wildlife across the globe. This print not only captures the essence of that era but also pays homage to the scientific advancements made during that time. With no people present in this unpopulated scene, our focus is solely on this magnificent avian species – its feathers delicately etched onto paper through expert engraving techniques. Through this artwork, we gain insight into zoological studies conducted during that period and appreciate how these illustrations played a crucial role in expanding our knowledge about nature. This fine art print from Bridgeman Images allows us to bring home a piece of history while celebrating one of nature's most extraordinary creations – the Kiwi bird.
