Adolphe Delattre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolphe Delattre (born February 10, 1805 in Tours France , † January 3, 1854 in Nice ) was a French ornithologist and artist .

Life

Delattre was the son of Louis-Henri Delattre and Eugénie Lemaire. In 1829 he married Jeanne Françoise Postel with whom he had a son. The marriage was not a good star and was declared by a court on November 30, 1832 as séparation de corps . This status was not equivalent to an official divorce. A day before his death, Delattre deposited a will with the consul of Nice in favor of Héloïse Boucard, his long-term concubine . This will was challenged by Ms. Postel as she was still the rightful wife of the deceased. In the period from 1831 to 1851 Delattre undertook several expeditions to America. His main interest was in the study of the hummingbirds . Delattre worked with Jules Bourcier and René Primevère Lesson on numerous hummingbird species from Central and South America .

He went to the school of the French artist Jean-Baptiste Isabey . Like his brother Augustin-Henri Delattre (1801–1867), who was also an artist and naturalist, Adolphe painted numerous paintings. In 1839 he and Lesson dedicated the species Ornismya Henrica to his brother . Later it turned out that it was a younger synonym of the redthroat nymph ( Lampornis amethystinus Swainson , 1827). While Henri mainly painted horses , but also other animals , Adolphe preferred to portray people. Among other things, Delattre created the works:

  • 1830 Portrait du Maréchal Gérard , Maréchal de France le 17 avril 1830
  • 1836 A Young Boy with his Sister in Extensive Landscape
  • 1858 A gentleman, a book under his left arm, wearing black coat, brown waistcoat, white trousers

In 1833 he created a group of miniature portraits for the House of Habsburg in Rio de Janeiro . One of the portraits was named Donna Januaria Sister Don Pedro II , b. to Rio . When he returned from his trip in 1832, he brought back many collectibles from various branches of natural history. These included items from botany, mineralogy, ornithology and, above all, entomology. From this time he made a beetle called Osorius brasiliensis available to the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle , which Pierre André Latreille first described for science in 1832. His first trip to America took him to San Francisco in California on a sailing ship . From here he began a journey through Central America , which took him via Guatemala to Nicaragua . Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte described the result of his collections in 1854 in the publication Notes ornithologiques sur les collections rapportées en 1853 par MA Delattre . In 1832 he became a member of the Société entomologique de France . Later he set out on a voyage of discovery to Peru , Ecuador and the then Viceroyalty of New Granada , which finally took him to the Isthmus of Panama . From there he brought an impressive collection of birds back to Paris, which he sold to Thomas Bellerby Wilson . During this trip he also collected a white-headed dipper ( Cinclus leucocephalus ) in Peru , which he gave Johann Jakob von Tschudi for analysis.

His affinity for art, science and nobility also manifested itself in the naming of Ornismya Helenæ (today Lophornis helenae ), where he wrote in the first description:

“ ... nous nommons L'OISEAU-MOUCHE HÉLÈNE (Ornismya Helenæ), en l'honneur d ' Hélène d'Orléans , cette noble princesse, protectrice des arts qu'elle encourage et qu'elle cultive avec tant de goût, et dont la grand infortune rehausse le beau caractère. Puisse la princesse Hélène accueillir avec bonté cet hommage d'un voyageur, heureux dans les contrées lointaines, de conquérir cette rarissime espèce pour lui thunder le nom d'une épouse et d'une mère si chère à la France. "

In 1848 he exhibited five pictures in the Salon de Paris and gave the address as 31, rue de la Sourdière . The three miniature portraits were called Nicola 1er , woman after bath (Femme après le bain) and a portrait of Mrs B ... . He had painted another exhibited portrait based on a model by Philippe de Champaigne . He also exhibited a miniature picture of a hummingbird.

Dedication names

René Primevère Lesson dedicated the ornamental elf ( Lophornis delattrei ) to Delattre in 1839 . The English trivial name De Lattre's Coquette is found in John Gould's hummingbird drawings .

In his Conspectus generum avium from 1850, Bonaparte used Campylopterus delattre for the species described by Lesson and Delattre in 1939 in the Revue zoologique par la Société cuviérienne with the common French name Oiseau-Mouche (Campyloptère) De Lattre (Ornismya Campylopterus) . Bonaparte's scientific taxon was adopted by John Gould in his drawings and so the common name De Lattre's Saber-Wing was also created . It later turned out that this species was described by Ferdinand Deppe as early as 1830 . Today the hummingbird is valued under violet rapier wings ( Campylopterus hemileucurus ). In the same work he created the new genus Delattria under which he the types Ornismya clemenciae Lesson , 1829 (synonym for the Blue-throated nymph ( Lampornis clemenciae )) Ornismya Henrica Lesson & Delattre , 1839 (synonym for the amethyst-throated mountaingem Lampornis amethystinus Swainson , 1827) and Trochilus Viridi-Pallens , Bourcier & Mulsant , 1846 (synonym for the green- throated nymph ( Lampornis viridipallens )). According to the International Rules for Zoological Nomenclature , the generic name of William Swainson had priority over that of Bonaparte. In 1854 Bonaparte again used the name Delattres for a subspecies of the Bushinamu called Crypturellus cinnamomeus delattrii . The taxon Basileuterus delattrii (Bonaparte, 1854) used by some authors is controversial. Many ornithologists consider this species to be a subspecies of the red-capped wood warbler ( Basileuterus rufifrons delattrii ). Therefore called Robert Ridgway him in his A manual of North American birds also Delattre's Warbler .

Another species with the name Delattre was described in 1847 by the French ornithologist Frédéric de Lafresnaye under the name Black- axed Tangar ( Tachyphonus delatrii ). In French, this also found its way under the common name Tangara de Delattre .
