EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored engraving, created by Fournier after an illustration by Edouard Travies for Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris in 1849, showcases two captivating birds of the Neotropical region: the Scarlet Macaw, Ara macao, and the Great Spotted Woodpecker, Dendrocopos major. The Scarlet Macaw, with its vibrant red, blue, and yellow plumage, is a large and powerful parrot species native to Central and South America. Known for their intelligence and long lifespan, these birds are a popular sight in the tropical rainforests and savannas of their range. Their elongated tail feathers and distinctive crest add to their striking appearance. The Great Spotted Woodpecker, on the other hand, is a medium-sized woodpecker species with a black and white body, prominent red spots on its wings and back, and a distinctive white stripe over its eyes. These birds are found throughout Europe, North Africa, and Asia, and are known for their powerful beaks, which they use to excavate tree bark in search of insects and larvae. The intricate details of this engraving highlight the beauty and unique characteristics of both species, providing a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating birds. The rich colors and fine lines bring the illustration to life, making it a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological art.
