EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored engraving showcases the vibrant and distinctive features of the Red-crested Turaco, scientifically known as Tauraco erythrolophus, also referred to as the Touracou pauline, Pauline plantain-eater, or Musophaga paulina. The image is taken from Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1829. The Red-crested Turaco is a native of Central and West Africa, and is renowned for its striking appearance. The bird's plumage is predominantly black, with brilliant red crest feathers, a red beak, and orange-yellow eyes. The turaco's legs and feet are a pale blue color. This engraving captures the bird's elegant posture and the intricate details of its feathers, which are adorned with iridescent sheens. The Red-crested Turaco is an important species in the natural history of Africa, and was a subject of great interest to naturalists and ornithologists of the time. The image in this engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the natural history illustrators of the 19th century. The Red-crested Turaco continues to be a popular subject in ornithology and birdwatching circles, and remains an iconic symbol of the diverse and rich avian life of Africa.
