Buffon Complete Comte Eagle Earl Edition Edward Fournier Osprey Provide Richard Steel Travies Works

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured engraving captures the majestic beauty of two powerful birds of prey - the Osprey and the Short-toed Snake Eagle. The intricate details in this 19th-century illustration, created by Fournier after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcase the grace and strength of these magnificent creatures. The Osprey, also known as Pandion haliaetus, is depicted with its distinctive white head and brown wings, poised for flight. Its sharp talons are ready to snatch fish from the water below with precision and speed. In contrast, the Short-toed Snake Eagle, or Circaetus gallicus, stands tall with its keen eyes scanning for prey on the ground below. This engraving is part of Richard's "New Edition of the Complete Works of Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. It serves as a valuable historical document in ornithology and natural history, providing insight into how these birds were perceived centuries ago. As you admire this exquisite print, take a moment to appreciate the artistry involved in capturing these avian wonders on paper. The delicate handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to each feather and detail. Let this image transport you back in time to a world where nature's beauty was captured through skilled craftsmanship and artistic vision.
