EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 341 of George Edwards' The Gleanings of Natural History, Vol. 3 (1764) showcases the vibrant and captivating Pompadour Cotinga (Xipholena punicea), a passerine bird belonging to the family Cotingidae. This hand-coloured copperplate etching offers a detailed and anatomically accurate representation of the bird, with the Pompadour Cotinga perched gracefully on a long, slender branch. The Pompadour Cotinga is easily recognizable by its distinctive plumage, featuring a red head, chest, and underparts, with a black back and wings. The bird's most striking feature is the long, ornate plume on its head, which resembles a pompadour hairstyle, hence the name of this species. The illustration provides an intricate and detailed view of the bird's anatomy, with its beak, feet, and feathers rendered in exquisite detail. The Pompadour Cotinga is depicted with its head turned slightly to the side, giving the viewer a glimpse of its red cheek. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of George Edwards and his team of engravers and colourists. The Pompadour Cotinga, as depicted in this plate, is a prime example of the natural history illustrations produced during the 18th century, which played a crucial role in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. The Pompadour Cotinga is a sauropsid, a group of vertebrates that includes reptiles and birds. It is a passeriform, a type of bird characterized by its perching ability and having the skeletal structure of hymenopterans. The Pompadour Cotinga is native to South America and is still found in parts of Central and South America today. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this beautiful and intriguing bird.
