EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Stunning Contrast of Waterfowl: Mandarin Duck and Dalmatian Pelican This handcoloured engraving, created by Fournier after an illustration by Edouard Travies, showcases two remarkable waterfowl species: the Mandarin Duck (Aix galericulata) and the Dalmatian Pelican (Pelecanus crispus). The image is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire Universel d'Histoire Naturelle (Dictionary of Natural History), published in Paris in 1849. The Mandarin Duck, also known as the Mandarin or Chinese Wood Duck, is a striking and colorful duck species native to East Asia. The male is adorned with vibrant, intricately patterned plumage, while the female sports a more subdued, brownish appearance. The Mandarin Duck is named for its resemblance to the imperial robes of ancient Chinese mandarins. In stark contrast, the Dalmatian Pelican, a large and impressive bird, is found in Europe and Asia. This pelican species is characterized by its distinctive white feathers, which are speckled with large, black spots. The Dalmatian Pelican is the largest pelican species and is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and poaching. The intricate details of these birds are beautifully captured in this handcoloured engraving, which highlights their unique physical characteristics and the striking contrast between them. The Mandarin Duck and the Dalmatian Pelican are a testament to the diverse and captivating world of waterfowl.
