EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Olive-shouldered Parrot, scientifically known as Aprosmictus jonquillaceus, also referred to as the Jonquil Parrot or Jonquil Parrakeet (Psittacus narcissus jonquillaceus). The intricate detail of this exquisite engraving, drawn and engraved by the renowned British naturalist John Latham, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the 19th century. The Olive-shouldered Parrot is a medium-sized parrot native to South America, specifically found in the forests of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. The bird is characterized by its vibrant green plumage, with distinctive olive-colored shoulders and a yellow belly. The face is adorned with a red beak, black eye ring, and a yellow patch around the eyes. John Latham, a pioneering figure in ornithology, created this illustration as part of his magnum opus, "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester, England, in 1822. This work was a significant contribution to the field of ornithology, documenting a wide range of avian species from around the world. The Olive-shouldered Parrot, with its captivating appearance, is a reminder of the rich natural history that inspired generations of naturalists and artists. This print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, continues to be a source of fascination and inspiration for bird enthusiasts and art lovers alike.
