EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases two distinctive and vibrant wading bird species, the Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber) and the Olive Ibis (Bostrychia olivacea). The image is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The Scarlet Ibis, with its striking red plumage, is native to the Caribbean and Central and South America. The Olive Ibis, on the other hand, is found in sub-Saharan Africa and is characterized by its olive-green feathers and long, downward-curving bill. Both species are depicted in their natural habitat, standing gracefully in shallow waters, with their long, elegant legs submerged. The intricate details of the birds' plumage and anatomical features are beautifully rendered in this lithograph, showcasing the exceptional skill of the artist. The Scarlet Ibis' vibrant red coloration is particularly noteworthy, making it a popular subject in ornithology and natural history illustrations. The Olive Ibis, while less colorful, is equally fascinating with its unique bill and distinctive markings. This image is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these species and their habitats for future generations to enjoy. The handcoloured lithograph is a rare and valuable piece of natural history, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past and offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of our planet.
