EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of two exquisite bird species, the Iiwi and the greater double-collared sunbird. Captured by Corsi in the 19th century, this handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving is a true masterpiece. The illustration was expertly drawn by Jean Gabriel Pretre and directed by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, making it a testament to their remarkable talent. The Iiwi, scientifically known as Vestiaria coccinea, stands out with its striking scarlet plumage. Its vivid coloration perfectly complements the delicate hues of the greater double-collared sunbird (Cinnyris afer). This botanical illustration from Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's Dizionario delle Scienze Naturali transports us back to Florence, Italy in 1837 when it was first published. Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin is celebrated as one of the greatest French botanical illustrators of his time. His attention to detail brings these birds to life on paper, showcasing their intricate features and graceful poses. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these birds play an essential role in nature as pollinators. Their presence reminds us of the interconnectedness between plants and animals within our ecosystem. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural world for future generations. It captures both scientific accuracy and artistic brilliance while celebrating the wonders found in nature's diverse tapestry.
