About the Item
This illustration depicts a bird labeled "Barbu grivelé," which translates to "Streaked Barbet" in English.
Description of the Print:
- The bird is illustrated perched on a small branch, showcasing its intricate plumage. It features predominantly green feathers with detailed streaks and scales on its head and chest, which may indicate the streaked or spotted pattern typical of barbets. The beak is strong and slightly curved, characteristic of barbet species.
About the Artists:
**Nicolas Huet (1770–1830)**:
- A prominent French natural history illustrator.
- Renowned for his precise and lifelike depictions of birds and other animals.
- Contributed significantly to various ornithological publications of his time.
**Jean Gabriel Prêtre (1768–1849)**:
- A Swiss-born natural history painter who worked primarily in France.
- Known for his detailed and accurate representations of zoological and botanical subjects.
- Collaborated with many leading naturalists and illustrated numerous scientific works.
Habitat of Barbets:
- Barbets are tropical birds, typically found in forests, woodlands, and scrub areas. They are native to regions in Africa, Asia, and tropical America.
- Given the specific label "Barbu grivelé," this species may correspond to a particular barbet known for streaked plumage, but without a precise scientific name, it is difficult to pinpoint its exact range. Generally, barbets are found in areas with abundant fruiting trees and dense foliage, where they can feed on fruits, insects, and occasionally small animals.
This print, part of the "Nouveau recueil de planches coloriées d'oiseaux" published in 1838, is another fine example of the detailed and scientifically accurate work produced by Huet and Prêtre, reflecting the high standards of ornithological illustration in the 19th century.

Antique Bird Print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller
Located in Langweer, NL
Original antique bird print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller, Guira Guainumbi. Published by by George Edwards, circa 1760.
George Edwards FRS (3 April 1694 – 23 July 1773) was an English naturalist and ornithologist, known as the "father of British ornithology". Edwards began studying natural history, especially birds, after an unsuccessful career as a businessman, ‘applying himself to drawing and colouring such animals as fell under his notice’, including foreign specimens brought into the Port of London by ship. Edwards’ chief aim was to ‘achieve a natural and accurate portrayal’, though often from stuffed specimens; with no clear idea of suitable backgrounds he would perch smaller birds on a lichen...
