EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print showcases the vibrant plumage of the Norfolk Pacific Robin, Petroica multicolor multicolor, also known as the Red-bellied Flycatcher or Muscicapa erythrogastra. The image is a masterpiece from the illustrious works of English naturalist John Latham, as featured in his seminal publication, A General History of Birds, published in Winchester in 1823. The Norfolk Pacific Robin is a small, endemic bird species native to Norfolk Island in the Pacific Ocean. This bird is renowned for its striking appearance, with its predominantly black plumage contrasting brilliantly with its red underbelly and orange-red eyes. The male and female exhibit similar coloration, with the female having a slightly less vibrant red belly. John Latham, a pioneering figure in ornithology, meticulously drew and engraved this illustration based on his own observations. The intricate details of the Norfolk Pacific Robin's feathers, beak, and eyes are beautifully rendered, providing an accurate representation of the species. This copperplate print is a testament to Latham's dedication to documenting the natural world and his exceptional artistic abilities. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the Norfolk Pacific Robin, a species that continues to captivate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
