EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 26 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots, features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Pacific Parakeet, Aratinga strenua. This exquisite avian specimen is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its vibrant plumage of electric blue and green feathers. The Pacific Parakeet, also known as the Pacific Conure or the Pacific Parrotlet, is a small parrot native to Central and South America. Edward Lear, a renowned English artist and author, meticulously captured the intricate details of the Pacific Parakeet's features, including its distinctive red forehead, curved beak, and expressive eyes. The illustration is a testament to Lear's exceptional artistic abilities and his deep appreciation for the natural world. This illustration is an essential addition to any avian enthusiast's collection or a beautiful adornment for a natural history-themed room. The lithograph's nineteenth-century origins add an air of antiquity and charm, making it a unique and captivating piece of art. The Pacific Parakeet is a beloved species among birdwatchers and conservationists, and this illustration serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian world. Aratinga strenua is still found in the wild, but its populations are threatened by habitat loss and the pet trade. This illustration offers a glimpse into the past while raising awareness of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations.
