EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph by John Gould and Richard Bowdler Sharpe, taken from the second edition of John Gould's "The Birds of New Guinea" (1875-1888), showcases the captivating Diphyllodes sp. bird-of-paradise in its vibrant plumage. The bird is depicted perched on a branch, with its distinctive brown breast and intricately patterned wings spread wide. The background is adorned with the lush, colorful flowers of an angiosperm, likely the plant upon which the bird-of-paradise often displays. The Diphyllodes sp. is a native of New Guinea and is renowned for its elaborate courtship display. During this display, the male bird inflates its brightly colored throat sac and elongates its wire-like filaments, creating an otherworldly appearance. The female, who is usually hidden in the undergrowth, is attracted to the sight and sound of the male's display. This exquisite artwork, created during the 19th century, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and naturalistic accuracy that characterized the works of John Gould and his collaborators. The anatomy of the bird is rendered with remarkable precision, from the curlicue quills of its tail to the intricate patterns on its wings. The flowering plant in the background adds to the overall beauty and harmony of the composition. The Diphyllodes sp. bird-of-paradise is a fascinating example of the intricate relationship between birds and flowering plants in the natural world. This image invites us to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and the artistry of those who sought to capture it on paper.
