Description
hand-coloured copper engraving. RARE
Attractive ornithological print from ‘Voyage à la Nouvelle Guinée, dans lequel on trouve la description des Lieux, des Observations physiques & morales, & des details relatifs a l’Histoire Naturelle dans le Regne Animal & le Regne Vegetal’; pl. 51, p. 89; First edition.
The book title is misleading as Sonnerat features many Philippine birds, as in this case, encountered during his extensive travels within the Philippines.
