EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases two exotic and vibrant species of the avian world: the Long-tailed Parakeet (Psittacula longicauda) and Mrs. Gould's Sunbird (Aethopyga gouldiae). The image is taken from "Beautiful Birds in Far-Off Lands," a natural history book for children written by the Victorian sisters, Mary and Elizabeth Kirby, and published by T. Nelson in London in 1872. The Long-tailed Parakeet, with its brilliant green plumage and elongated tail feathers, is a native of tropical Asia. Its striking appearance and lively demeanor have made it a popular subject for ornithological studies and artistic renditions. The Long-tailed Parakeet is known for its social behavior and ability to mimic human speech, making it a beloved pet in many parts of the world. The Mrs. Gould's Sunbird, on the other hand, is a small, colorful bird native to the forests of Southeast Asia. The male sunbird is depicted in this print with its iridescent blue-green plumage and long, curved beak, while the female is shown with her brownish-olive feathers and shorter beak. Sunbirds are known for their nectar-feeding habits and their ability to hover in mid-air while sipping nectar from flowers. This stunning chromolithograph, produced during the Victorian era, showcases the sisters' passion for natural history and their ability to capture the beauty and wonder of the natural world for the next generation. The intricate details and vivid colors bring these exotic birds to life, transporting us to far-off lands and inspiring a sense of awe and appreciation for the natural world.
