EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases three charming European songbirds: the Garden Warbler, Redstart, and European Stonechat. The engraving is taken from the "New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Garden Warbler (Sylviorborin) is depicted in the center, with its distinctive yellow-green back, olive-gray wings, and long, curved bill. The Garden Warbler is a migratory bird that breeds in Europe and Asia, and is known for its melodic song. To the left of the Garden Warbler is the Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), easily recognizable by its bright red tail and wings, contrasting with its black and white body. The Redstart is a small, agile bird that feeds on insects and berries. It is a resident breeder in Europe and Asia, and is known for its distinctive "chit-will" call. To the right of the Garden Warbler is the European Stonechat (Saxicola rubicola), with its distinctive red breast and wings, and a black mask around its eyes. The Stonechat is a small, sturdy bird that nests in dry, open habitats, such as grasslands and rocky areas. It is a resident breeder in Europe and Asia, and is known for its distinctive "chat-like" call. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century ornithological illustration, and offers a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating birds. The drawing was originally created by Edouard Travies, a skilled naturalist and artist, and was then meticulously hand-colored and engraved by Annedouche. This engraving is a valuable historical document, and a reminder of the rich biodiversity of Europe's avian fauna.
