EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, created by Pardinel after an original illustration by Edouard Travies for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Universal Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849, showcases two iconic birds of prey native to different continents: the Andean Condor (Vultur gryphus) and the Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo). The Andean Condor, the largest flying bird in the Western Hemisphere, is depicted with its expansive wings spread wide, showcasing the magnificent beauty of its plumage. Known for its distinctive V-shaped head crest and ruff, this bird is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. With a wingspan of up to 10 feet, the Andean Condor is an awe-inspiring sight in the sky. In contrast, the Eurasian Eagle Owl, the largest species of owl in the world, is shown perched regally on a branch. With its piercing golden eyes and powerful talons, this bird of prey is a formidable hunter native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The Eurasian Eagle Owl is known for its distinctive ear tufts and large, heart-shaped face disc. The intricate details of this engraving, with its vibrant hand-coloring, provide a stunning representation of these magnificent birds and offer a glimpse into the natural history of the past. This image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the skill of the artists and engravers of the time.
