EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic beauty of two iconic birds - the Southern cassowary and the emu. The intricate handcoloured copperplate engraving from Antoine Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Science" showcases the detailed features of these fascinating creatures.
The Southern cassowary, with its striking casque and vibrant plumage, is depicted alongside the emu, originally named the "cassowary of new holland." This unique pairing highlights their shared characteristics as flightless birds native to Australia.
The talented artist Jean Gabriel Pretre and engraver Devegni have brought these birds to life with precision and artistry. Their collaboration under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin has resulted in a masterpiece that captures the essence of these magnificent creatures.
As you gaze upon this exquisite print, you can almost feel yourself transported to a lush forest where these birds roam freely. The attention to detail in every feather and feature is truly awe-inspiring.
This print is not just a work of art but also a testament to the rich biodiversity found in nature. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve these incredible species for future generations to admire and appreciate.
