EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, titled "Pied Currawong (Strepera graculina) and Cinereous Becard (Pachyramphus rufus)," is a stunning example of naturalistic ornithological illustration from Dumont de Sainte-Croix's Dictionary of Natural Science: Ornithology, published in Paris, France between 1816 and 1830. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of painter Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), who was employed as a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later became the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The intricate detail of the engraving, executed by Guyard under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin and published by F.G. Levrault, showcases the Pied Currawong and Cinereous Becard in their natural habitats. The Currawong, a native Australian bird, is depicted perched on a branch with its distinctive pied plumage and curved beak, while the Cinereous Becard, a South American bird, is shown in flight with its cinereous (ash-gray) plumage and long, decurved beak. The use of the stipple engraving technique, which involves the application of small dots of ink to create shading and texture, adds to the lifelike quality of the illustration. The handcoloring further enhances the vibrancy and realism of the birds' plumage, making this a truly captivating work of art and an invaluable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithological prints.
