EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts the Indian ringneck parakeet, Psittacula krameri manillensis, in all its vibrant pink and green glory. The parakeet, a member of the parrot family (Psittaciformes, specifically the Psittacidae subfamily), is perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its distinctive collar of pink feathers encircling its neck. The intricate details of the parakeet's anatomy are beautifully rendered, from the curved beak and expressive eyes to the delicate quills of its feathers. Edward Lear, the renowned English artist and author, created this illustration as part of his comprehensive work, "Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae or Parrots," published in 1832. The nineteenth century was a period of great fascination with the natural world, and such detailed and accurate depictions of exotic animals, particularly birds, were highly sought after. Lear's mastery of the lithographic process is evident in the rich colors and fine lines of this print. The use of hand coloring further enhances the artwork, bringing the Indian ringneck parakeet to life in a way that a black-and-white reproduction could not. The parakeet's pink plumage is particularly striking, adding a pop of color against the green background of the foliage. The Indian ringneck parakeet, also known as the lutino or rose-ringed parakeet, is native to South Asia and is now widely introduced in other parts of the world due to its popularity as a pet. This illustration serves as a reminder of the natural beauty that inspired collectors and artists alike during the nineteenth century, and continues to captivate us today.
