EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving, created by Annedouche after a drawing by Edouard Travies, showcases the striking contrast between the Little Bustard (Tetrax tetrax) and the Great Bustard (Otis tarda). The image is taken from the "Richard's New Edition of the Complete Works of Comte de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. Comte de Buffon, a renowned naturalist and encyclopedist of the 18th century, dedicated significant time and resources to the study of natural history. His comprehensive works, which included detailed observations and illustrations of various species, were considered groundbreaking in their time and continue to be valuable resources for ornithology and the history of science. The Little Bustard, a medium-sized bird with a distinctive plumage of brown and black, is shown on the left side of the engraving. In contrast, the Great Bustard, the largest flying bird in Europe, is depicted on the right. With its impressive height of up to 1 meter (3.3 feet), the Great Bustard's predominantly brown feathers, long neck, and distinctive crest make it a striking sight. The intricate details of the birds' plumage and anatomy are beautifully captured in this engraving, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating work of art as well as a valuable scientific document. This engraving is not only a testament to the skill of the artists involved but also a reminder of the rich history of ornithology and natural history.
