EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Tiger Flower, 1833-39" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century French natural history. The print, part of a private collection, is an exquisite representation from the renowned publication "A Dictionnaire pittoresque d'histoire naturelle et des phénomènes de la nature" published by Felix Edouard Guérin-Méneville between 1833 and 1839. The artwork showcases the vibrant Tiger Flower (Tigridia pavonia) in all its glory, accompanied by a Tinamou bird (Tinamus sp. ). The intricate details and delicate coloring bring these specimens to life on paper. This illustration not only captures the beauty of these creatures but also serves as a valuable resource for studying their characteristics. The Tiger Flower's mesmerizing petals resemble those of a tiger's coat, hence its name. Its striking appearance has made it a popular subject among artists throughout history. Paired with the elegant Tinamou bird perched nearby, this composition offers an intriguing juxtaposition between flora and fauna. This remarkable engraving provides us with a glimpse into both artistry and scientific exploration during the 19th century. It reminds us of our fascination with nature's wonders and our continuous quest to understand its mysteries. As we admire this timeless piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded that even centuries later, art can still transport us to different eras
