EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing print, titled "Metatarsus of the Dodo and its Kindred," is an exquisite example of 19th-century ornithological illustration. The metatarsus bones of various birds, including the dodo (Raphus cucullatus), crowned pigeon (Goura coronata), tooth-billed pigeon (Didunculus strigirostris), and other extinct and living species, are delicately depicted in this hand-colored lithograph. The metatarsus bone is the long bone in the foot of a bird, and its study was crucial in the classification and identification of avian species during the time of this illustration's creation. The metatarsus bones of the dodo, represented here in numbers 1-10, are particularly noteworthy due to the bird's unique anatomy. The dodo, an endemic species of Mauritius, was flightless and had a peculiar gait, making the study of its metatarsus bones essential in understanding its locomotion. The remaining bones, belonging to the crowned pigeon, tooth-billed pigeon, and other birds, provide a fascinating comparison to the dodo's anatomy. This illustration was drawn and lithographed by Joseph Dinkel, with text by Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville, for their comprehensive work, "The Dodo and its Kindred," published in London by Reeve, Benham and Reeve in 1848. The intricate detail and precision of this illustration serve as a testament to the dedication and curiosity of the scientific community during this period, striving to unravel the mysteries of the natural world.
