EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts the Capuchinbird, Perissocephalus tricolor, and the Amazonian Umbrellabird, Cephalopterus ornatus. Originally published in the "Dictionnaire de Sciences Naturelles, Omnithologie" by Frederic Cuvier between 1816 and 1830 in Paris, France, this illustration was created by the skilled hand of Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and later becoming the artist to the Museum of Natural History. The intricate details of the Capuchinbird's vibrant plumage and the Umbrellabird's distinctive umbrella-like feathers are brought to life through the meticulous engraving by Guyard, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, and published by F.G. Levrault. The Capuchinbird, also known as the Tricolored Capuchinbird, is native to Central and South America, and is characterized by its distinctive crest, black and white plumage, and red eyes. The Amazonian Umbrellabird, on the other hand, is found in the Amazon rainforest and is known for its large size, bright blue wattles, and the distinctive umbrella-like feathers used in courtship displays. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the natural history illustration techniques of the early 19th century, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past.
