EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "La Science francaise" in 1892 showcases two iconic birds that have sadly disappeared from our world: the dodo and the apteryx, also known as the kiwi. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their work serves as a poignant reminder of these endangered species. The dodo, with its plump body and distinctive beak, was native to Mauritius before it became extinct in the late 17th century due to human activities. Its unique appearance and tragic fate have made it an emblem of extinction. Similarly, the apteryx or kiwi kiwi is a flightless bird endemic to New Zealand. Known for its small size and long beak, this nocturnal creature faces numerous threats such as habitat loss and predation by introduced species. Through this engraving, Stefano Bianchetti beautifully captures the essence of these vanished birds. The intricate details bring them back to life on paper, allowing us to appreciate their beauty despite their absence today. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect vulnerable species around us. It serves as a call-to-action against further destruction of habitats and highlights the importance of conservation efforts worldwide. Let this artwork serve as a symbol not only for these lost avian wonders but also for all endangered creatures who rely on our stewardship for survival.
