摘要
1800年至1804年期间,法国在尼古拉斯·鲍丁(1754-1803)的指挥下,对新荷兰(澳大利亚)进行了探索,收集了大量的自然史资料,尤其是在巴斯海峡的国王岛(国王岛)(1802年12月)和袋鼠岛(德热斯岛)上(1803年1月)从两个不同的种群中捕获了矮emu。其中两只在前往法国的航行中幸存下来,曾被短暂安置在马尔迈森的约瑟芬皇后动物园,然后是巴黎植物园的动物园。两人都死于1822年。波丁访问后不久,这两个岛屿上的野生种群都被灭绝了,查尔斯·亚历山大·勒苏厄(Charles Alexandre Lesueur,1778–1846)和莱昂·德·怀利(Léon de Wailly,1801–1824)的两幅水彩画一直是矮emus历史的核心。然而,尼古拉斯·休特(Nicolas Huet,1770–1830)的一幅重要的当代版画却被忽视了,该版画描绘了两只被囚禁的幸存的麋鹿。本文探讨了现已灭绝的矮emus图像的历史,以及Huet版画的产生和意义。
Dwarf emus from Baudin's voyage (1800–1804): an overlooked engraving by Nicolas Huet (1770–1830)
The French voyage of exploration to New Holland (Australia) between 1800 and 1804, commanded by Nicolas Baudin (1754–1803), made substantial natural history collections, notably capturing dwarf emus from the two distinct populations on King Island (Île King) in Bass Strait (December 1802) and Kangaroo Island (Île Decrès) (January 1803). Two of these emus survived their voyage to France, were housed briefly at the Empress Josephine's menagerie at Malmaison, and then the zoological park of the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Both died in 1822. With the wild populations on both islands exterminated soon after Baudin's visit, two watercolours, one by Charles-Alexandre Lesueur (1778–1846) and one by Léon de Wailly ( fl. 1801–1824), have been central to the history of the dwarf emus. However, an important contemporary engraving by Nicolas Huet (1770–1830) depicting the two surviving emus in captivity has been overlooked. This essay explores the history of the images of the now extinct dwarf emus, as well as the production and significance of Huet's engraving.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Natural History (formerly the Journal of the Society for the Bibliography of Natural History) publishes peer-reviewed papers on the history and bibliography of natural history in its broadest sense, and in all periods and all cultures. This is taken to include botany, general biology, geology, palaeontology and zoology, the lives of naturalists, their publications, correspondence and collections, and the institutions and societies to which they belong. Bibliographical papers concerned with the study of rare books, manuscripts and illustrative material, and analytical and enumerative bibliographies are also published.
