EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Numenius Tahitiensis (Gmelin), a species that has fascinated ornithologists for centuries. Created in the 19th century by an American School artist, this colour lithograph is now housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia. Plate 3 of Hitchcock's Ornithology series, this artwork specifically focuses on the Bristle-Thighed Curlew (Numiensis Tahitiensis). The intricate details captured by the lithographer W. E. Phila. are truly remarkable, allowing us to marvel at every feather and contour of this magnificent bird. As we delve into its natural history, we discover that curlews are known for their long bills and distinctive calls that echo across marshlands and coastal areas. This particular species stands out with its bristle-like feathers on its thighs, hence its name. The image transports us to a serene landscape where nature reigns supreme. It serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and encourages us to appreciate and protect these precious creatures.
