This reproduction of an antique engraving illustrates two remarkable avian specimens: the Grey Crowned Crane (Ardea pavonia) and the Crested Ibis (Ibis cristata). The plate comes from the Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, a major encyclopedic work supervised by Charles d'Orbigny in the 19th century.
The composition of the image respects the codes of period naturalistic illustration, combining aesthetics and descriptive rigor. Each bird is represented with its distinctive attributes, such as the radiated crest of the crane, testifying to the richness of ornithological exploration during the period 1841-1849.
This documentary piece is intended for amateurs of ornithology and the history of science. In decoration, it offers a classic perspective on biodiversity and can be collected for its iconographic interest as much as for its historical value.
