Antique engraving 1849 - Crowned Crane, Africa, marsh, parade

Crowned Crane: Authentic 176-year-old print, not a simple reproduction. • Edition: 1849. • Size: 15 X 24 cm. • Artist: E.douard Travies. • Condition: Very good, some usual signs of age. This engraving is taken from Charles d'Orbigny's Dictionnaire d'histoire naturelle (Natural History Dictionary), a 19th-century scientific work containing plates and detailed descriptions of the animal and plant kingdoms. Combining scientific rigor and artistic quality, each engraving accurately illustrates natural diversity, making this dictionary an educational and decorative document, ideal for framing and collecting. The crowned crane sports a golden crown-like tuft on its head, contrasting with its silvery-gray plumage. Its long legs and slender neck enhance its elegance. Its courtship dance is one of the most spectacular in the avian kingdom. • Find all our lithographs and prints on our profile. • Send us a message with any questions. • Fast delivery and careful packaging for safe delivery. • To purchase multiple illustrations, contact us to arrange a discount and a single shipping fee.
