EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 24 from Louis-Isidore Duperrey's Voyage de la Coquille (1822-1825) Zoologie Atlas (1826) presents a captivating illustration of the European Roller, Coracias garrulus semenowi. This historic print, drawn during Duperrey's voyage to Chile, Peru, Polynesia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, showcases the European Roller's elegant posture as it perches on a gnarled branch. The bird's back is a stunning blend of warm brown and grey tones, with its long, slender body and distinctive head adorned with a blue-green sheen. As a member of the Coraciidae family and the order Coraciiformes, the European Roller is known for its unique anatomy. Its bill is long and curved, resembling that of a beak, which it uses to catch its prey, primarily insects, reptiles, and amphibians. The European Roller's plumage is also noteworthy, with iridescent blue-green feathers covering its back, wings, and tail, contrasting with the paler underparts. Duperrey's illustration, created during the 19th century, is a testament to the meticulous work of the naturalist artists of the time. The intricate details of the European Roller's feathers, beak, and eyes are rendered with exceptional accuracy, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the natural world of over two centuries ago. This historic print is a must-have for any collection focusing on European ornithology, natural history, or the works of Louis-Isidore Duperrey.
