EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving, taken from Rene Primevere's "Lessons Complements de Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1838, showcases two fascinating and now extinct species of the South Island of New Zealand: the South Island kokako (Callaeas cinereus) and the bell miner (Manorina melanophrys). The South Island kokako, also known as the grey crowned wattlebird or the South Island owl-parrot, was a large, flightless, and endemic parrot species that once inhabited the forests of the South Island. With its distinctive grey plumage, wattles, and red eyes, the kokako was a striking and unique bird. Sadly, due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and disease, the last known South Island kokako died in captivity in 1907. The bell miner, also known as the South Island bellbird or the grey warbler, was a small, endemic songbird that was once abundant in the forests of the South Island. With its distinctive bell-like song and olive-green plumage, the bell miner was a beloved and iconic bird of New Zealand. However, due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species, the last known bell miner died in 1967. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the unique and irreplaceable biodiversity that once thrived on the South Island of New Zealand and the importance of preserving and protecting the natural world for future generations.
