1. Title: Black-and-red Broadbill (Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchos) This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving showcases the striking features of the Black-and-red Broadbill (Cymbirhynchus macrorhynchos), also known as the Black-billed Gaper or the Red-billed Broadbill. The illustration is based on an original work by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, William Swainson, and was published as part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, Flycatchers edition, in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1836. The Black-and-red Broadbill is a large, colorful bird native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. The male bird is easily recognizable by its distinctive black bill, which is significantly larger than its head, and its vibrant red body. The female, on the other hand, has a smaller bill and a more subdued, brownish coloration. The Black-and-red Broadbill is an important species in the avian world, not only for its striking appearance but also for its ecological role. They are known to be omnivorous, feeding on fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. These birds are also cavity nesters, and their large, hollowed-out nests are often used by other bird species as well. This beautiful hand-colored steel engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality production techniques of the time. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring the Black-and-red Broadbill to life, showcasing its unique features and captivating beauty. The illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's diverse and captivating wildlife.
