About the Item
An original illustration of the Palawan Peacock-Pheasant (Polyplectron napoleonis) from the "Nouveau recueil de planches coloriées d'oiseaux" dated 1838 by Nicolas Huet and Jean Gabriel Prêtre.
The Palawan Peacock-Pheasant (Polyplectron napoleonis) was named by the French naturalist and ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte. Bonaparte named the species in honor of his cousin, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Charles Lucien Bonaparte was a notable figure in the field of ornithology, and he made significant contributions to the classification and naming of various bird species during the 19th century. The specific epithet "napoleonis" reflects this dedication to his illustrious relative.
The Palawan Peacock-Pheasant (Polyplectron napoleonis) is endemic to the Philippines, specifically to the island of Palawan. This bird is found in the dense lowland forests of Palawan, where it lives in the understory and forest floor. The habitat includes primary and secondary forests, and the species is known for its elusive and secretive nature, making it challenging to observe in the wild. Conservation efforts are crucial for this species due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures.
This engraving is relatively rare and potentially valuable for several reasons:
1. Historical Value: The print is from the early 19th century, making it over 180 years old. Antique prints from this era are generally considered rare and valuable, especially when they are well-preserved.
2. Artists' Renown: Nicolas Huet and Jean Gabriel Prêtre were notable artists of their time, known for their detailed and accurate depictions of wildlife. Prints by well-known and respected artists tend to be more sought after.
3. Limited Editions: Prints from this period were often produced in limited quantities. The combination of age and limited production numbers contributes to their rarity.
4. Condition: The value and rarity also depend on the condition of the print. Well-preserved prints with minimal damage, fading, or staining are rarer and more valuable.
5. Subject Matter: The Palawan Peacock-Pheasant is a striking and exotic bird, which adds to the appeal and rarity of the print.
