EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate stipple engraving depicts two intricately detailed birds from the natural world: the Chestnut-belted Gnateater (Conopophaga aurita) and the Flame Robin (Petroica phoenicea). The illustration is taken from the "Dictionnaire de Sciences Naturelles: Ornithologie" (Dictionary of Natural Sciences: Ornithology), published in Paris, France, between 1816 and 1830. The work was overseen by renowned naturalist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck and featured illustrations by Jean Gabriel Pretre, a painter of natural history at Empress Josephine's zoo, and engravings by Guyard, under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin. The Chestnut-belted Gnateater, a small, insectivorous bird native to South America, is depicted perched on a branch with its distinctive chestnut-colored belt and long, down-curved bill. The Flame Robin, a brightly colored songbird from Australia, is shown on the ground, with its vibrant orange-red plumage and distinctive white underparts. Both birds are masterfully rendered in this historic artwork, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and artistry of the time. The Chestnut-belted Gnateater is currently considered a near-threatened species, while the Flame Robin is of least concern on the IUCN Red List. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich natural history knowledge that was being documented during the early 19th century and the importance of preserving the world's diverse bird populations for future generations.
