EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Horned Currasow, also known as Pauxi unicornis, a species that is sadly endangered. The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by William Hayes in 1794 for his book "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park". The Horned Currasow is depicted with exquisite detail and vibrant colors, thanks to Hayes' artistic talent. Its unique horn-like crest stands proudly atop its head, making it instantly recognizable and adding to its allure. This bird's striking appearance truly captivates viewers and reminds us of the beauty found in nature. Hayes' illustration not only highlights the ornithological aspects of this rare creature but also serves as an important historical record. It provides valuable insight into the diversity of bird species present during the 18th century. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss and hunting pressures, the Horned Currasow has become endangered over time. This photograph serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats. Displayed against a neutral background, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Hayes' skilled hand. It invites us to marvel at both the artistry behind this engraving and the natural wonder embodied by this remarkable bird species.
