EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Bustards of 1835, specifically featuring the male Little Bustard at the top and the Great Bustard (Otis tardis) at the bottom. The Great Bustard sadly became extinct in Britain around 1830 due to the disappearance of its natural habitat. However, there is hope for this magnificent bird as a program to reintroduce it with Russian stock is currently underway. The image originates from The British Cyclopaedia of Arts and Sciences, published by Charles Partington in London during 1835. Its vibrant colors bring these remarkable creatures to life, making them appear almost tangible. This photograph holds great significance within fields such as science, biology, and natural history. It serves as a reminder of both extinct and endangered species that have faced challenges throughout history. In particular, it sheds light on how human activities can impact wildlife populations. Dating back to the 19th century, this print provides valuable insight into wildlife during that era. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive and now available through Heritage Images, it allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these birds but also their historical importance. Overall, this enchanting engraving captures our attention with its vivid depiction of bustards while reminding us about our responsibility towards protecting endangered species in today's world.
