EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the male and female Or, Psittirostra psittacea, also known as the Parrot-billed grosbeak or Loxia psittacea. The image is a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by John Latham for his renowned work, A General History of Birds in 1822. These beautiful birds are critically endangered and may even be on the brink of extinction. Their vibrant colors and unique features make them a sight to behold. The male bird, depicted at the top of the print, displays striking plumage with shades of green and yellow that contrast beautifully against its black wings. Meanwhile, the female bird exhibits more subdued tones but still possesses an undeniable elegance. Latham's meticulous attention to detail brings these creatures to life on paper. Every feather seems to have been delicately etched onto the plate with care and precision. This artwork serves not only as a visual delight but also as an important record of these rare species. It is disheartening to think that such magnificent creatures may no longer grace our world due to human activities threatening their existence. As we admire this print, let us remember our responsibility towards conservation efforts so that future generations can appreciate these remarkable birds in their natural habitats rather than solely through historical records like this one.
