Only species with a striking, elegant form and iridescent sheen were included in the work. The engravings were printed using an innovative technique devised by Audebert himself, in which multiple copper plates were required for each image. This allowed the colors to be applied directly during the printing process\u2014a rarity around 1800. In his preface, Audebert emphasized that the hues were therefore not subsequently hand-colored.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"917\" data-end=\"1357\">In the production process, Louis Bouquet assisted with the coloring of the plates, while Langlois was responsible for the printing. The project, however, was not entirely completed by Audebert himself: he died in 1800, before the publication was finished. Only the hummingbirds were actually engraved by his own hand; the remaining birds, including this bee-eater, were engraved by Vieillot based on Audebert\u2019s drawings and notes.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1359\" data-end=\"1641\">The monumental folio edition appeared in 32 installments, each offered at 30 francs. The work ranks among the finest and most technically advanced natural history publications of its time, representing a high point in ornithological book illustration in early 19th-century France.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1850\">Bee-eaters typically inhabit open woodlands, savannas, and riverbanks, sometimes in semi-open landscapes. They are agile in flight and feed primarily on flying insects such as bees, wasps, and dragonflies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1850\">Price: Euro 685,- (incl. frame)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cLe Gu\u00eapier Buloch\u201d [Buloch Bee-eater] engraving from &#8220;Oiseaux dor\u00e9s ou \u00e0 reflets m\u00e9talliques&#8220;, Part I: &#8220;Histoire naturelle et g\u00e9n\u00e9rale des colibris, oiseaux-mouches, jacamars et promerops&#8220;, made by Jean Baptiste Audebert (1759\u20131800) and Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot (1748\u20131831).
