EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate stipple engraving showcases three magnificent species of the Jacamar family: the Rufous-tailed Jacamar (Galbula ruficauda), the Great Jacamar (Jacamerops aureus), and the Rufous Jacamar, also known as the Red-tailed Jacamar (Galbula ruficauda). The image is taken from the "Dictionnaire de Natural History, Omnithologie" by Frederic Cuvier, published in Paris between 1816 and 1830. The Rufous-tailed Jacamar, as depicted in the engraving, is a vibrant, colorful bird with a striking red tail, black wings, and a yellow-orange belly. The Great Jacamar, on the other hand, boasts a mostly black body with iridescent green and purple feathers on its wings and a long, curved beak. The Rufous Jacamar, or Red-tailed Jacamar, is similar in appearance to the Rufous-tailed Jacamar but with a red bill instead of the yellow-orange beak. The illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The engraving was expertly executed by Massard, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. This historical artwork is a testament to the intricate detail and beauty that was captured during the era of natural history exploration. The Jacamars, with their unique physical characteristics and captivating appearance, continue to fascinate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
