EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving, taken from Antoine Jussieu's Dictionary of Natural Science published in Florence, Italy in 1837, showcases two fascinating bird species: the Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus) and the Asian Paradise Flycatcher (Terpsiphone paradisi). The Eastern Kingbird, native to North and Central America, is depicted perched on a branch with its distinctive crest raised, displaying its vibrant orange-yellow underparts and black mask. This bird is known for its agile hunting skills, often hovering in mid-air before swooping down to catch insects in flight. In contrast, the Asian Paradise Flycatcher, native to Southeast Asia, is illustrated in its full regal splendor, with its iridescent blue-green plumage, long tail streamers, and striking red eyes. This bird is named for its elaborate courtship display, where the male flies in a zigzag pattern, flashing its vibrant colors and waving its long tail feathers to attract a mate. The intricate details of this engraving are a testament to the skill of the illustrator, Jean Gabriel Pretre, and the engravers, Terreni and Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. Pretre's meticulous observation and attention to detail are evident in the lifelike representation of the birds' plumage, beaks, and postures. The engraving process, which involved creating fine dots or stipples of ink on copper plates, allowed for a high degree of detail and tonal range, resulting in a stunning visual representation of these beautiful birds.
