EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving depicts a Crimson Rosella, Platycercus elegans, a vibrant and captivating parrot species native to Australia. The image is taken from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's "Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots," published in Edinburgh in 1833. The engraving was expertly crafted by the skilled hand of Joseph Kidd. The Crimson Rosella is also known by its scientific names, Psittacula (or Platycercus) elegans, and its former name, Psittacula pennantii, named after the English naturalist, Thomas Pennant. This parrot is renowned for its striking appearance, with its brilliant red plumage, contrasting black and yellow flight feathers, and distinctive blue and orange facial markings. The intricate details of the Crimson Rosella's feathers are beautifully captured in this engraving, showcasing the exceptional artistry of the time. The background is adorned with lush greenery, adding to the naturalistic setting of the image. This engraving is a testament to the fascination with the natural world during the 19th century and the importance of documenting and preserving the diversity of species. The work of naturalists and artists, such as Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Captain Thomas Brown, and Joseph Kidd, played a crucial role in advancing the field of ornithology and expanding our understanding of the natural world. The Crimson Rosella remains a beloved and iconic species in Australia, and this historical engraving serves as a reminder of the rich natural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
