EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print depicts the enigmatic and extinct Dodo (Rhinoceros Niger), a flightless bird that once inhabited the islands of Mauritius and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. The image is based on the painting by Flemish artist Roelant Savery, which was first published in the Penny Magazine in 1833. The Dodo, with its distinctive round body, large beak, and flightless wings folded against its sides, was a fascination for Europeans when it was first discovered in the late 16th century. Sadly, the Dodo was driven to extinction within a few decades due to human activities, including hunting and habitat destruction. The woodcut print, with its intricate details and lifelike representation, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the unique features of this extraordinary bird. The background of the print is adorned with various other exotic birds and foliage, adding to the sense of wonder and discovery. The print also serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of the natural world and the importance of preserving endangered species. The Penny Magazine, which was first published in 1832, was a popular and influential British weekly publication that aimed to provide affordable and accessible education and entertainment to the working classes. The publication of the Dodo woodcut, along with other natural history illustrations, helped to fuel the public's fascination with the natural world and contributed to the growing awareness of the need for conservation efforts.
