EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph showcases two vibrant and captivating birds from the Old World tropics: the Green-winged Pytilia (Pytilia melba) and the Red-cowled Cardinal (Paroaria dominicana). The image is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The meticulous attention to detail in the artwork, created by Burggraaff, brings out the intricate plumage and unique features of these birds. The Green-winged Pytilia, also known as the Melba Finch, is a small bird with a distinctive green patch on its wings and a bright red face. Native to Central and East Africa, these birds are omnivorous and are often found in open savannas and woodlands. Their diet consists mainly of seeds, fruits, and insects. The Red-cowled Cardinal, on the other hand, is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive red hood and a black and white body. They are native to South America and are found in grasslands, savannas, and open woodlands. These birds are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, and insects. Both birds are depicted in this image in their natural habitats, adding to the authenticity and beauty of the artwork. The intricate details and vibrant colors make this a must-have for any ornithology enthusiast or collector. The hand-colored lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past.
