EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving, created by du Casse after an illustration by Adolph Fries for the "Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History" by Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville, showcases two distinct woodpeckers, the Black Woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) and the Great Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), in an intriguing moment of interspecies interaction. The Black Woodpecker, with its all-black plumage and distinctive red crest, is shown pecking at the nesting site of the Great Spotted Woodpecker, which is revealed to contain a single egg. The Great Spotted Woodpecker, with its white underparts, black and white spotted back, and red crown spots, is shown defending its nest, its beak poised to attack the larger intruder. This scene highlights the intense competition for resources in the natural world and the adaptability of these remarkable birds. The intricate details of the woodpeckers' plumage and the delicate shading of the eggs are beautifully rendered in this engraving, making it a stunning addition to any natural history collection.
