EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the beauty and mystery of two extinct species from Rodrigues Island - the Rodrigues solitaire, Pezophaps solitaria, and the domed Rodrigues giant tortoise, Cylindraspis peltastes. These unique creatures were once abundant on the island but sadly fell victim to human activity and environmental changes. The facsimile of Francois Leguat's Voyage frontispiece, published in 1708, provides a glimpse into a world long gone. The intricate details of these animals are brought to life through this artwork, showcasing their distinctive features and characteristics. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species from meeting a similar fate. The fragility of our planet's biodiversity is highlighted by the loss of such remarkable creatures like the Rodrigues solitaire and giant tortoise. Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville's work in "The Dodo and its Kindred" further immortalizes these extinct species for future generations to appreciate. Through art and literature, we can continue to learn about our natural world and strive towards preserving it for years to come. Let us cherish this image as a reminder of what once was, urging us to take action in safeguarding our planet's precious wildlife before it is too late.
