EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving showcases the Great Argus, Argusianus argus, a magnificent bird native to the forests of Southeast Asia. The intricate detail of the image is a testament to the skill of the engraver, Annedouche, working from a drawing by Edouard Travies. The engraving is part of Richards New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon, published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Great Argus is known for its striking appearance, with iridescent green and blue feathers covering its body, and a series of long, white plumes extending from its head and back. These plumes, also known as "train feathers," are used in courtship displays to attract females. The bird's eyes are a vibrant orange-red, adding to its regal appearance. The Great Argus is a member of the pheasant family and is found primarily in the forests of Sumatra and Borneo. They are elusive birds, preferring to live in dense vegetation, making them difficult to spot in the wild. The species is considered to be of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), but habitat loss and fragmentation continue to be threats to their population. This engraving is a valuable historical record of the Great Argus, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's biodiversity and the role that ornithology plays in documenting and understanding the natural world.
