EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning Purple-naped lory, scientifically known as Lorius domicella. With its vibrant plumage and striking purple cap, this endangered species is a true marvel of nature. Also referred to as the Purple-capped lory or Lorius domicellus, this exotic bird has been beautifully captured in a handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Lizars. The illustration itself is an exquisite work of art, originally created by Edward Lear and featured in Prideaux J. Selby's renowned publication "The Natural History of Parrots". This particular print is part of Sir William Jardine's esteemed collection titled "Naturalists Library: Ornithology" published in Edinburgh in 1836. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece that perfectly encapsulates the beauty and uniqueness of these tropical birds. The attention to detail in the handcolouring technique adds depth and dimension to every feather, making it truly come alive. As we admire this image, let us also remember the importance of conservation efforts for endangered species like the Purple-naped lory. By appreciating their natural splendor through art and photography, we can raise awareness about their plight and inspire action towards their preservation.
