The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by C. Hayes and featured in William Hayes' renowned work, "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park" published in London in 1794. The Yellow-knobbed curassow is an intriguing bird that falls under the category of near threatened species. Its distinctive yellow knob on its beak adds to its allure, making it a fascinating subject for ornithology enthusiasts and art lovers alike. The intricate details captured in this 18th-century illustration highlight the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such engravings during that era. The artist's attention to color and precision brings out every feather with remarkable clarity.
