EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving on steel, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases two fascinating owl species: the Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) and the Long-eared Owl (Asio otus). Originally published in Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon by Pourrat Freres in Paris, 1837, this ornithological masterpiece captures the intricacies of these birds with remarkable detail and accuracy. The Eurasian Eagle-Owl, with its powerful build and striking yellow eyes, is the larger of the two owls depicted. It is a resident of Europe, North Africa, and Asia, and is known for its broad wings and distinctive ear tufts. The Long-eared Owl, on the other hand, is smaller and more elusive. Its long, ear-like tufts are actually feathers, and its ears are located at the base of these tufts. This owl is found throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and is well-adapted to hunting in wooded areas. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of Annedouche and Edouard Travies, who captured the essence of these birds with great care and precision. The handcoloring adds an extra layer of beauty and depth, making this a truly stunning piece of historical ornithological art. The image is a reminder of the rich natural history that has been documented over the centuries, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world around us.
