EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and diversity of nature, featuring a White-ruffed manakin, Corapipo altera, a blue-backed manakin, Chiroxiphia pareola, a manchineel tree, Hippomane mancinella, and a mandrake plant, Mandragora officinarum. The handcoloured steel engraving by Pfitzer after an illustration by Adolph Fries is from Felix-Edouard Guerin-Meneville's Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History), Paris. The image transports us back to the 19th century when naturalists were fascinated by the wonders of the natural world. The vibrant colors bring these creatures and plants to life as if they are leaping off the page. The white-ruffed manakin with its distinctive plumage stands out against the lush green foliage surrounding it. Meanwhile, the blue-backed manakin displays its iridescent feathers in all their glory. Intriguingly dangerous is the presence of the manchineel tree known for its toxic sap that can cause severe burns upon contact. It serves as a reminder that not all aspects of nature are benign. Lastly, we have the mandrake plant with its mystical associations throughout history. This print captures both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty in equal measure. It reminds us of our fascination with discovering and documenting new species during this era while also appreciating their aesthetic appeal. A true testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about our natural world.
