This reproduction illustrates the King Vulture (Sarcoramphus papa), a raptor depicted with special attention paid to the details of its head and plumage. The plate highlights the bird's natural chromatic contrasts, characteristic of 19th-century ornithological illustration.
This work is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle, published between 1841 and 1849. It testifies to the encyclopedic ambition of the era, aiming to document the diversity of the avian world with anatomical rigor and a classic aesthetic typical of steel engravings.
Ideal for embellishing a space dedicated to natural history, this illustration invites the contemplation of wild forms. It appeals both to ornithology enthusiasts and to those who appreciate the timeless charm of antique scientific documents.
