Plate 11: Paradisaea minor, the Lesser Bird-of-Paradise (John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China) This exquisite watercolor illustration, Plate 11 from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, showcases the captivating beauty of the Lesser Bird-of-Paradise (Paradisaea minor). Painted in the nineteenth century, this work of art provides a glimpse into the natural world of Asia during a time when European explorers and naturalists were making significant discoveries in the region. The Lesser Bird-of-Paradise is a passerine bird belonging to the Paradisaeidae family, native to New Guinea and the surrounding islands. Known for their distinctive plumage and elaborate courtship displays, these birds are a favorite among ornithologists and bird enthusiasts. In this illustration, the Lesser Bird-of-Paradise is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its vibrant blue feathers contrasting beautifully with the lush green foliage. The intricate details of its anatomy are on full display, from the long, slender bill to the filament-like feathers on its chest, which are used to attract mates during courtship. John Reeves, the artist behind this masterpiece, expertly captures the essence of this enchanting bird, providing a window into the natural wonders of Asia during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of rich, vibrant colors make this watercolor a true work of art, a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
