EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Red-winged Pytilia, Pytilia phoenicoptera, also known as the Red-winged Bengala or the Yellow-fronted Canary. The bird is shown perched on a branch with its vibrant plumage on full display. The Red-winged Pytilia is native to Western Africa, specifically in countries like Senegal, Mozambique, and South Africa. The male bird, as depicted in this engraving, is characterized by its bright red wings, yellow front, and black and white striped face. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued coloration with a brown back, gray wings, and a yellow belly. These small, agile birds are members of the Old World Sparrow family and are often found in savannas, grasslands, and forests. This beautiful engraving is from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, published by William Lizars in Edinburgh in 1837. The illustration was created by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, William John Swainson. Swainson's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate feather patterns and lifelike posture of the bird in this engraving. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history art.
