EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Brown-throated Wattle-eye, Platysteira cyanea, also known as the Spectacle Toddy or Platystera lobata. The image was produced by William Lizars in Edinburgh in 1836, based on an original illustration by the renowned naturalist, William Swainson, for Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, specifically the volume dedicated to Flycatchers. The Brown-throated Wattle-eye is a small, colorful bird native to Central and South America. The male is easily identified by its distinctive blue-black plumage, bright orange wattles, and the striking blue eye-rings that give this bird its common name. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued appearance with a brownish-gray back and a paler belly. This intricately detailed engraving showcases the beauty and vibrancy of the Brown-throated Wattle-eye, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The meticulous hand-coloring adds depth and realism to the image, making it a true work of art.
