EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Cuculus plagosus, also known as the Shining Bronze-cuckoo, taken from the Latham Collection, Volume 2, folio 280. The Latham Collection, an essential reference work in the history of zoological illustration, was compiled by John George Children and John Edward Gray between 1824 and 1828. This particular illustration, drawn by an unidentified artist, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and accuracy that characterized the Latham Collection. The Shining Bronze-cuckoo is a native of Australasia and Australia, belonging to the Cuculidae family within the order Cuculiformes. Known for their brood parasitic behavior, cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, allowing the cuckoo chicks to be raised by the unsuspecting foster parents. The Shining Bronze-cuckoo is characterized by its iridescent bronze-green plumage, a striking contrast to its black mask and white underparts. This illustration offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the past, providing valuable insight into the appearance and classification of the Shining Bronze-cuckoo. The Latham Collection, with its exquisite drawings and detailed annotations, remains an important resource for ornithologists, historians, and anyone with an interest in the natural world. This image, in particular, serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian species that inhabit our planet, as well as the importance of preserving and documenting their existence for future generations.
