About the Item
This original vintage illustratiton is a handcolored antique print titled 'Le Moucberolle doré mâle', which showcases a male American redstart (Setophaga ruticilla), a vibrant member of the New World warbler family. The bird is depicted in mid-movement, with its wings slightly raised, as if it has just alighted upon the branch. The illustration captures the redstart’s striking plumage with its contrasting bright orange patches on the wings and tail set against a deep black body, highlighting the species' distinctive coloration.
Below the image, 'Le Moucberolle doré mâle', 'Musciapa ruticilla. pl. 33' provides the French name and the scientific nomenclature of the bird, along with the plate number from the series. The credits 'Pretre pinx', 'Langlois sculp.', and 'Bouquet' refer to the original painter, engraver, and individual who applied the hand finishing, respectively, and connect the print to the larger work 'Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de l'Amerique Septentrionale' by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot, published around 1807.
Examining the condition of the print, it exhibits characteristic age-related foxing and a general yellowing of the paper. Despite these signs of wear, the coloration remains bright and the artwork is preserved with a high level of detail, allowing the beauty of the redstart to continue to captivate viewers. The print represents an era in ornithology when the study of birds began to focus more on the living bird in its natural environment, marking a significant shift in the scientific approach to natural history.

Large Antique Bird Print of a White Bellied Caribbean Martin, circa 1807
Located in Langweer, NL
This captivating antique bird print, entitled "L'Hirondelle à ventre blanc", is a remarkable representation of the white-bellied Caribbean martin (Progne dominicensis), a species admired for its size and grace among the swallow family. It stands out as a collectible artwork from the historical compendium "Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux de l'Amerique Septentrionale" by the ornithological innovator Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot, published circa 1807.
The artistry involved in this print is exemplary of early 19th-century techniques, with the original illustration by J.G. Pretre being skillfully engraved by L. Bouquet. The color printing, executed by Langlois, has been further enhanced by hand-finishing, a testament to the artisanship of the time and a quality highly prized by collectors.
A perfect amalgamation of natural history and art, this print captures the white-bellied Caribbean martin in stunning detail, from its glistening feathers to its contemplative gaze. The fine detail and the bird's animated posture provide a lifelike presence, reflecting Vieillot's progressive approach to ornithology — studying birds in their natural habitats, living and breathing, rather than as static museum specimens.
As a treasured addition to any antique print collection...
