EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is Plate 26 from the Zoologie Atlas of the Voyage de la Coquille, published in 1826. The plate features a captivating illustration of the Manucode, scientifically known as Paradisaea regia, a bird of paradise native to Papua New Guinea. The Manucode is a member of the Paradisaeidae family, known for their extravagant plumage and elaborate courtship displays. The illustration, drawn during the Voyage de la Coquille's expedition to Chile, Peru, Polynesia, Indoneasia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia between 1822 and 1825, depicts the Manucode perched gracefully on a branch. The bird's iridescent blue and green plumage is on full display, with its long, curved tail feathers extending behind it. Its brown legs and feet contrast sharply with its vibrant body, adding to the overall visual impact of the image. Louis Isidore Duperrey, the French naval officer and naturalist who led the expedition, oversaw the creation of this atlas, which documents the natural history discoveries made during the voyage. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustrations, such as the Manucode plate, is a testament to the skill and expertise of the naturalists and artists who accompanied the expedition. This historic image provides a glimpse into the natural world as it was observed and recorded during the 19th century, offering a valuable insight into the rich biodiversity of the regions explored by the Voyage de la Coquille. The Manucode remains an iconic symbol of the avian wonders that continue to inspire wonder and fascination to this day.
