EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts two exquisite parrot species, the Black-headed Parrot (Pionites melanocephalus) and the White-eyed Conure (Psittacara leucophthalma). The image is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The Black-headed Parrot, also known as the Maipourie or Pavonine Parrot, is native to Central and South America. The male of the species is characterized by its glossy black head and chest, contrasting with its bright green body and red tail. The female, on the other hand, has a green head and chest, with a yellow belly and red tail. The White-eyed Conure, also known as the White-eyed Parakeet, is native to the same region as the Black-headed Parrot. This parrot is easily recognizable by its distinctive white eyes, which contrast sharply with its green body and red tail. The White-eyed Conure is a popular pet due to its vibrant colors and intelligent behavior. The intricate details of these birds are beautifully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, which showcases their stunning plumage and unique features. The artistry of the lithography process is evident in the delicate shading and precise lines used to depict the feathers and facial features of the birds. This image is a testament to the natural beauty of these two parrot species and the skill of the artist and printer who brought them to life on paper. It is a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological prints or natural history art.
