EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases three distinctive and captivating European birds: the Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica), European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), and Western Yellow Wagtail (Motacilla flava). The image, part of Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837, highlights the intricate details and vibrant colors of each bird. The Bluethroat, with its striking blue-grey throat and chest, is perched on the left side of the print. Its long, curved beak and brown and grey plumage make for a striking contrast against the lush green dogrose (Rosa canina) branch it rests upon. In the center, the European Robin, with its bright red breast and distinctive white underbelly, is shown hopping on the ground. Its small size and round body make it a beloved bird species in Europe. On the right side of the print, the Western Yellow Wagtail is depicted in mid-flight. Its bright yellow underparts and black and white wings create a stunning contrast, while its long, curved bill and wagging tail are characteristic features of this bird species. The intricacy and detail of this handcolored steel engraving are a testament to the skill of the artist and the dedication of the publisher to producing high-quality ornithological illustrations. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important historical document, providing valuable insights into the natural history of these birds and the techniques used to study and represent them during the 19th century.
