EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print showcases the striking features of the Vulnerable Horned Parakeet, Eunymphicus cornutus. The intricate detailing of this 19th-century illustration, drawn and engraved by the renowned ornithologist John Latham, captures the unique beauty and distinctiveness of this bird species. The Horned Parakeet, also known as the Horned Parrot, is native to South America, specifically in the Andes Mountains of Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. This parakeet derives its name from the distinctive horns that protrude from its beak, giving it a distinctive and striking appearance. Sadly, the Horned Parakeet is considered Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as hunting for the pet trade. The illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect this beautiful and unique bird species. John Latham was a prominent English naturalist, ornithologist, and artist, who is best known for his comprehensive work "A General History of Birds," which was published in several editions between 1737 and 1822. This print is a testament to his dedication and passion for documenting the natural world and preserving its wonders for future generations.
