EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 9 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae or Parrots (1832): An Odorhynchus hyacinthinus, or Hyacinth Macaw This stunning hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 9 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae or Parrots (1832), showcases the captivating beauty of the Hyacinth Macaw, scientifically known as Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus. The large, vibrant blue bird with its distinctive red, featherless beak and long, curved, yellow eyes gazes intently at the viewer from its perch on a branch. The Hyacinth Macaw is native to South America, particularly in the central and eastern parts of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This majestic bird is the largest flying parrot in the world, measuring up to 102 cm (40 inches) in length and weighing up to 1.4 kg (3 lbs). The Hyacinth Macaw's beak is not only a striking feature but also an essential tool for its survival. Its powerful, hooked beak is used for cracking open the hard nuts and seeds that make up a significant portion of its diet. The beak is also used for preening and building nests. The background of the illustration features various asparagaceae plants, including hyacinths, which are part of the angiosperms, a group of flowering plants. The Hyacinth Macaw is known to feed on the seeds of these plants, making them an essential part of its habitat. Edward Lear's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this exquisite illustration, which showcases the anatomy and natural history of the Hyacinth Macaw with accuracy and artistry. The intricate hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century natural history illustration.
