EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving showcases three captivating bird species: the Fork-tailed Flycatcher (Stizorhina fraseri), Rufous Flycatcher-Thrush (Tyrannus rufescens savana), and Blue Dacnis (Dacnis cayana). The image is derived from a drawing by the skilled naturalist artist Edouard Travies and was published in the "New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon," produced by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Fork-tailed Flycatcher, with its elegant, long, and curved tail, is perched on a branch, its beak poised in readiness to catch an unsuspecting insect. The Rufous Flycatcher-Thrush, with its rufous-brown plumage and distinctively shaped bill, sits on a mossy branch, while the Blue Dacnis, with its vibrant blue feathers, clings to a tree trunk, its bright eyes gazing intently at the viewer. The intricate details of the birds' plumage and anatomical features are beautifully rendered in this engraving, providing an accurate representation of these birds for ornithological study. The historical significance of this image lies in its connection to the works of Comte de Buffon, a prominent French naturalist and encyclopedist, whose writings on natural history were groundbreaking for their time. The hand-coloring adds an artistic touch to the engraving, making each bird stand out with its unique colors and patterns. This stunning image is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past.
