EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely detailed hand-colored engraving showcases the striking features of the Knobbed Hornbill, scientifically known as Aceros cassidix, also referred to as the Sulawesi Wrinkled Hornbill or the Crested Hornbill. The Knobbed Hornbill is a vulnerable species of hornbill native to the forests of Sulawesi, an island in Indonesia. The Knobbed Hornbill is easily recognizable by its distinctive casque, a large, helmet-like structure on its upper beak, which is unique to hornbills. The casque is believed to amplify the bird's calls and may also serve as a display feature during mating rituals. The bird's plumage is predominantly black, with iridescent green and purple sheen, and white feathers on its underparts. The eyes are bright red, and the bill is black with a yellow tip. The Knobbed Hornbill is an important species in the forest ecosystem, playing a role in seed dispersal and serving as a food source for predators. However, its population is declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting for its meat and feathers, and capture for the pet trade. This beautiful engraving is taken from Edward Griffiths' "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1829. The work is considered a seminal work in the fields of natural history, zoology, and ornithology, and this image of the Knobbed Hornbill is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized the work.
