EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, created by I. Rees for Lorenz Oken's Universal Natural History (Allgemeine Naturgeschichte für alle Stände) published in Stuttgart in 1839, showcases an intriguing assembly of five remarkable birds from different parts of the world. The extinct Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) from the Indian Ocean islands, the Ostrich (Struthio camelus) from Africa, the Great Bustard (Otis tarda) from Europe and Asia, the Vulnerable Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) from New Guinea and Australia, and the Endangered North Island Brown Kiwi (Apteryx mantelli) from New Zealand are all depicted in their natural habitat. The Dodo, once abundant on the island of Mauritius, is now extinct due to human activities. The Ostrich, the world's largest flightless bird, is shown with its distinctive long neck and legs. The Great Bustard, the largest flying bird in the world, is depicted in its European habitat. The Cassowary, a large, flightless bird with a distinctive helmet-like casque on its head, is shown in its rainforest habitat. The North Island Brown Kiwi, a flightless bird native to New Zealand, is depicted with its distinctive long beak and feathers. This beautiful and detailed illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating birds and serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered and vulnerable species. The lithograph is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the 19th century and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and accurate representation of these birds.
