EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning tile adorned with the image of a Dodo, created between 1882 and 1888. Crafted by the talented artist William De Morgan, this red and white lustreware piece measures 15.2x15.2 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The tile's design beautifully captures the essence of this doomed species, which became extinct centuries ago. The intricate decorative motifs surrounding the central image add an ornate touch to its overall aesthetic appeal. This Victorian ceramic masterpiece exemplifies both artistry and craftsmanship within the arts and crafts movement. The Dodo itself stands as a symbol of fascination for many due to its tragic fate as one of history's most famous extinct birds. Its portrayal on this tile serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to protect endangered species today. As we admire this remarkable work, we are transported back in time to an era when such exquisite ceramics were highly valued for their beauty and intricacy. This photograph allows us to appreciate every detail of this ornamental creation while also acknowledging its historical significance within Western art.
