EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illustration is Plate 362 from Carolus Clusius's seminal work, "Exoticorum libri decem," published between 1526 and 1609. The plate showcases the King Bird-of-Paradise, scientifically known as Cicinnurus regius, a fascinating and enigmatic bird belonging to the paradisaeid family within the passeriform order. The King Bird-of-Paradise is renowned for its striking appearance, with its elongated, curlicue tail feathers and vibrant plumage. The bird's wings, depicted in this illustration, are adorned with intricate patterns and a mix of iridescent colors. The King Bird-of-Paradise is native to New Guinea and certain parts of Indonesia, and it is believed that the males display their elaborate tail feathers during courtship rituals to attract females. Carolus Clusius, a Flemish botanist, was a pioneer in the study of exotic plants, animals, and fruits. His work, "Exoticorum libri decem," was one of the first comprehensive accounts of the natural world beyond Europe, featuring descriptions and illustrations of various exotic species. This illustration, in particular, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of the King Bird-of-Paradise during the 16th century. The illustration's intricate details and lifelike quality are a testament to the skill of the artist, who expertly captured the bird's unique features, including its long, dead tail filaments and the delicate patterns on its wings. The King Bird-of-Paradise remains a captivating subject for natural history enthusiasts and ornithologists, and this illustration continues to inspire awe and wonder.
