Woodpecker by Des Murs/Odart

Image de Pic de Guadeloupe

Description :

I ran across this illustration on Wikimedia Commons from an 1849 publication I had not encountered before. The original scan was very good and I was able to clean it up easily. I white-balanced the background, removed some manually, and did the usual bit of cloning to remove schmutz. With a little color enhancement, I feel it looks very nice--fresh off the artist's table. A reference I have on bird art says these were hand-colored lithographs. Artist and lithographer of this one is Paul Louis Oudart (1796-1860).Guadeloupe woodpecker - Melanerpes herminieriSource: Iconographie ornithologiqueAuthor: Marc Athanase Parfait illet Des Murs (1804-1878)Original source: archive.org/stream/Iconographieorn00DesMA#page/n387/mode/2up
