About this print

Edouard Travies illustrated the bird for the “Dictionnaire universel d'histoire naturelle”, published in Paris between 1841 and 1849. Fournier engraved the plate, detailing the plumage against the arid backdrop. The original artwork captures the animal striding across the landscape.
