EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the striking beauty of the Pavonine Quetzal (Pharomachrus pavoninus), specifically highlighting the intricately patterned head of the female. The Quetzal, a trogon species native to Central America, is renowned for its vibrant plumage, with iridescent green and blue feathers adorning its body and a brilliant red breast. In this illustration, the female's head is adorned with a magnificent crest of elongated, curved feathers, adding to her regal appearance. This illustration is taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838. Buffon's "Natural History" was a groundbreaking work in the field of zoology, featuring detailed descriptions and illustrations of various animal species. The "Lessons Complements" served as supplements to Buffon's original work, providing additional information and illustrations. The meticulous craftsmanship of this copperplate engraving is evident in the fine details of the Quetzal's features, from the delicate contours of her beak to the intricate patterns on her feathers. The use of hand-coloring further enhances the realism and vibrancy of the image, making it a stunning example of 19th-century natural history illustration. The Pavonine Quetzal is not only a visual marvel but also an important species in its native habitats. They are found in the cloud forests of Central America, and their numbers have been declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these magnificent birds and preserve their natural habitats.
