EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate stipple engraving, created between 1816 and 1830, showcases two intricately detailed birds: the White Wagtail (Motacilla alba) and the Tree Pipit (Anthus trivialis). The illustration is taken from the esteemed "Dictionnaire de Sciences Naturelles: Ornithologie" by Dumont de Sainte-Croix, published by F.G. Levrault in Paris, France. The White Wagtail, depicted on the left, is a small, slender bird with a white underbelly and black wings, tail, and mask. Known for its distinctive wagging tail, this bird is commonly found in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The Tree Pipit, on the right, is a medium-sized bird with a brown back, wings, and tail, and a white underbelly with brown spots. This bird is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and is characterized by its piping call and habit of perching on tree branches. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre (1780-1845), a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History in Paris. The engraving was expertly executed by Madame Rebel, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. This beautiful work of art showcases the meticulous attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship of the time, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical ornithological illustrations.
