EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the elegant and vibrant plumage of the Black-capped Lory, Lorius lori, as depicted in Plate 75 from Christian Ludwig Brehms Monographie der Papageien (1855). The lory is perched gracefully on a slender branch, its blue and green feathers glistening in the light. The lory's black cap and red beak add striking contrast to its otherwise colorful appearance. The anatomy of this parrot is intricately detailed in the illustration, revealing the hooked beak and the strong, muscular legs that enable the lory to grip branches securely. The lory's belly is a soft, pale blue, and its breast is adorned with a pattern of red feathers. The illustration also highlights the lory's head, which is adorned with a distinctive black cap and a blue-green nape. Christian Ludwig Brehms Monographie der Papageien was a groundbreaking work that documented the natural history and anatomy of parrots, and this illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The Black-capped Lory, native to the Comoros and Madagascar, is a beautiful and distinctive member of the Psittaciformes order, and this illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing bird.
