EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Chickens, Wild Turkey, and Guineafowl," is a stunning example of ornithological art from the 19th century. Created by the skilled hands of Annedouche, based on a drawing by Edouard Travies, this print is a testament to the meticulous detail and beauty that characterized natural history illustrations during this period. The image showcases three distinct species of birds: a rooster and hen (Gallus domesticus) in the foreground, a wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) in the middle ground, and helmeted guineafowl (Numida meleagris) in the background. The chickens, with their vibrant red comb and wattles, are depicted in a farmyard setting, likely representing their domesticated status. In contrast, the wild turkey and helmeted guineafowl, with their more naturalistic plumage and wild expressions, are shown in their natural habitats. This print is from the "New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. Comte de Buffon, a renowned French naturalist, wrote extensively about natural history and the natural world. His works were influential in the development of scientific thought and continue to be studied and appreciated today. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this engraving are a testament to the importance of ornithology in the history of science and the role that art played in documenting and preserving the natural world. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its aesthetic value, this print is a beautiful and fascinating glimpse into the past.
