This reproduction presents a naturalist plate of a domestic rooster, from the famous Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle. The illustration depicts the bird in a farmyard with striking realism, highlighting its bright yellow and green colors. The balanced composition and the strength of the stroke testify to a great scientific rigor specific to the 19th century.
The original work was produced under the direction of Charles d'Orbigny between 1841 and 1849. This period marks the peak of major encyclopedic syntheses where graphic precision served quality popularization. The intention was to catalog biological diversity with remarkable artistic exigency for the era.
Intended for ornithology and natural history enthusiasts, this illustration integrates perfectly into a collection of antique plates. It can be observed for its technical finesse or used in decoration to bring a historical and scholarly dimension to an interior.
