"Les Paradisiers, Menado, Celebes" (The Birds of Paradise, Menado, Celebes) edition 98 of 350 from 1937 depicts figures from Manado in North Sulawesi adorned with birds-of-paradise feathers — the spectacular plumage of these New Guinea birds traded across maritime Southeast Asia as prestige items. The birds' extraordinary feathers, in their actual use as adornment, gave Jacoulet a subject that combined natural history, material culture, and portraiture into a single, visually spectacular composition.
