EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving captures the beauty of the Glossy black cockatoo, Calyptorhynchus lathami (Calyptorynchus stellatus), as illustrated by Edward Lear. The intricate details of this bird's glossy black feathers and striking red tail feathers are brought to life in vivid color, showcasing its unique and captivating appearance.
Edward Lear's skillful depiction of this magnificent creature is further enhanced by the expert handcolouring technique used in this print. Each feather seems to shimmer with iridescence, making it appear almost lifelike and ready to take flight from the page.
Displayed in Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, this engraving serves as a testament to both the artistry and scientific accuracy of 19th-century natural history illustrations. The meticulous attention to detail in capturing the Glossy black cockatoo's features highlights the importance of such works in documenting and preserving our understanding of Earth's diverse wildlife.
As you gaze upon this exquisite image, you can't help but marvel at the sheer beauty and elegance of nature's creations. The Glossy black cockatoo truly stands out as a symbol of grace and majesty, immortalized forever in this timeless piece of art.
