EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored engraving, created by Fournier after an original illustration by Edouard Travies for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849, features two intriguing and charming bird species: the Great Tit (Parus major) and the Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus). The Great Tit, a common and widespread bird in Europe, is easily recognizable by its distinctive black head and white cheeks, with a blue-gray back and wings, and a yellow belly. This lively and agile bird is known for its intelligence and curiosity, often seen exploring its environment and opening nuts and seeds with great skill. The Long-tailed Tit, also known as the Bushtit, is a small bird with a distinctive long, bushy tail, which makes up almost half of its body length. With a grayish-brown back and wings, a white belly, and a yellow patch under the tail, this bird is a striking contrast to the Great Tit. Long-tailed Tits are social birds, forming small family groups that stay together throughout the year. They are known for their distinctive call, which sounds like a high-pitched "tsit-tsit-tsit." Both birds are depicted in this beautiful engraving in their natural habitat, surrounded by foliage and branches, showcasing their unique features and charm. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the hand-coloring bring the illustration to life, making it a true work of art and a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of these two captivating bird species.
