EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of an Alexandrine parakeet or Alexandrine parrot, scientifically known as Psittacula eupatria. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Lizars truly bring this exotic bird to life. The image captures the essence of this magnificent creature, with its emerald green plumage adorned with hints of blue and yellow. Its long tail feathers elegantly fan out behind it, adding to its regal appearance. This particular species is also known as the Alexandrine ring parrakeet or Palaeornis alexandri. Created in 1836 for Prideaux J. Selby's "The Natural History of Parrots" within Sir William Jardine's renowned "Naturalists Library: Ornithology" this illustration is a testament to both artistic skill and scientific accuracy. It was based on an original artwork by Edward Lear, a celebrated artist and ornithologist. Displayed against a plain background, the focus remains solely on the majestic bird itself. Its piercing eyes seem to hold secrets from distant lands, inviting viewers into its world full of mystery and wonder. This print serves as a reminder that nature's creations are often more extraordinary than anything we could imagine. It offers us a glimpse into the diversity and splendor found in our natural world while reminding us to appreciate and protect these remarkable creatures for generations to come.
