EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured engraving captures the beauty and grace of two magnificent bird species - the Mandarin duck and the Dalmatian pelican. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring these creatures to life, showcasing their unique features and characteristics. The Mandarin duck, known for its striking plumage and elegant appearance, is a symbol of love and fidelity in Chinese culture. Its vibrant orange, green, purple, and white feathers create a mesmerizing display that is truly captivating. In contrast, the Dalmatian pelican exudes a sense of grandeur with its large size and distinctive pouch-like bill. This vulnerable species faces threats to its population due to habitat loss and human interference, making it all the more important to appreciate its beauty through artworks like this one. Created by Fournier after an illustration by Edouard Travies from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universale d'Histoire Naturelle in 1849, this engraving is not just a work of art but also a valuable historical document. It serves as a reminder of the rich diversity of our natural world and the importance of conservation efforts to protect these incredible creatures for future generations to admire.
