EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases three distinct and vibrant parakeet species: the Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), Red-breasted Parakeet (Psittacula alexandri), and Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri). The engraving, which is part of Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837, transports us back in time to an era when natural history was a source of fascination and exploration. The Monk Parakeet, also known as the Quaker Parrot, is easily identified by its distinctive gray and green plumage, with a red tail and a distinctive crest. The Red-breasted Parakeet, on the other hand, boasts a striking red breast and a predominantly green body. The Rose-ringed Parakeet, with its pink and green feathers, is named for the pink rings around its eyes and the rose-colored markings on its wings. The scene is set in a room adorned with lush palms, a birdcage, and a vase filled with flowers. The Monk Parakeet and the Red-breasted Parakeet are perched on the palm fronds, while the Rose-ringed Parakeet sits on the edge of the birdcage. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the feathers to the veins on the leaves, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. This beautiful and historically significant work of art is a reminder of the rich history of ornithology and the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural world. The Monk Parakeet, Red-breasted Parakeet, and Rose-ringed Parakeet continue to captivate us with their vibrant colors and unique characteristics, and this engraving serves as a testament to their enduring appeal.
