About the Item
Title: ‘1. LEPTORHYNCHUS PECTORALIS – LEPTORYNQUE PECTORAL, 2. PARRA ALBINUCA – JACANA A NUQUE BLANCHE.’
– (1. Banded Stilt, 2. Madagascar Jacana.)
Engraving with original hand colouring, heightened with arabic gum on wove (vellin) paper.
An antique print capturing the Banded Stilt and Madagascar Jacana presents a visual tapestry of two distinct avian species, each unique in its appearance and habitat.
The Banded Stilt, an elegant wading bird, is depicted with its slender build and distinctively long legs that aid in its foraging along shallow waters. Its plumage, delicately rendered in this print, showcases a harmonious blend of white and black bands across its body, exuding a sense of grace as it navigates its wetland habitat.
In contrast, the Madagascar Jacana, portrayed in this antique print, is known for its striking appearance and peculiar behavior. Its distinctive long toes and impressive webbing enable it to gracefully move across the aquatic vegetation of its habitat. With its vibrant plumage and intricate markings, this species stands out, adding a burst of color and charm to the composition.
Meticulously hand-colored, this antique print captures the essence of these avian wonders, highlighting their unique traits and habitats. The artwork not only celebrates the beauty of these birds but also offers a glimpse into their ecological roles and the captivating diversity of birdlife in various regions. Through detailed rendering and artistic precision, the print invites viewers to appreciate the intricacies and natural wonder of these remarkable avian species.
More info on the book in which it was published:
The 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles' by Pierre Auguste Joseph Drapiez stands as a remarkable testament to 19th-century natural sciences. Published in Brussels in 1845, this work represents an expansive collation of knowledge, building upon the pioneering works of Buffon, Daubenton, Lacepede, Cuvier, de Jussieu, and other influential naturalists.
The prints within this compendium likely showcase a rich amalgamation of artistic precision and scientific accuracy. Drapiez, himself a Belgian naturalist, would have aimed for detailed representations of flora, fauna, and scientific phenomena, mirroring the illustrative styles prevalent during his time. Given the era's emphasis on illustration, these prints were likely engraved meticulously, possibly portraying intricate anatomical details or lifelike depictions of the natural world.
With Drapiez's background in natural history, the prints might bear testament to his commitment to scientific authenticity, aiming to educate and inspire scholars and enthusiasts alike. These engravings would have complemented the text, offering visual aids that elucidate the concepts and specimens discussed in the volume.
Overall, the prints of 'Dictionnaire Classique des Sciences Naturelles' likely serve as both artistic representations and invaluable scientific resources, encapsulating the essence of 19th-century natural history exploration and documentation.
