Antique Hand-Colored Bird Print of Macaws of Guiana - a Red and Blue Macaw, 1855

About the Item

Antique bird print titled 'Der rothe Ara von Guiana (..) Der blaue Ara (..)'. This print originates from 'Naturgeschichte der Vögel (..)' by Dr. A. B. Reichenbach. Published 1855. This illustration showcases two species of macaws alongside detailed anatomical sketches of their heads. 1. **Red Macaw from Guiana (Der rothe Ara von Guiana - Ara aracanga):** This is the Scarlet Macaw, portrayed with its vivid red plumage, a yellow to orange gradient on the wings, and blue on the tips of the wings and tail. It's perched on a branch, and its strong beak and inquisitive gaze are prominent features. 2. **Blue Macaw (Der blaue Ara - Ara ararauna):** Known as the Blue-and-yellow Macaw, this bird is shown with a rich blue back and wings, a golden yellow underbelly, and a greenish forehead. It is similarly perched, displaying its powerful beak and striking plumage. The illustration also includes detailed sketches of the birds' anatomical features: A. **Skull and Beak with Visage of the Parakeet-Ara from Guiana (Kopf und Schnabel mit Gesicht des Perruche-Ara aus Guiana - Psittacara guianensis):** This is a scientific illustration of the skull of a Guianan Red-and-green Macaw, highlighting the structure of the beak and the surrounding facial features. The anatomical details are meticulous, providing insight into the bone structure and morphology of the macaws' skulls, which is vital for scientific understanding and classification. The detailed coloration and accuracy in these depictions are typical of 19th-century natural history illustrations, which combined art with scientific observation.
