EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, showcases two stunningly beautiful and distinct parrot species: the Senegal Parrot (Poicephalus senegalus) and the Great-billed Parrot (Tanygnathus megalorynchos). The image, produced in Brussels in 1837, is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the time. The Senegal Parrot, native to West Africa, is depicted on the left side of the print. With its vibrant green plumage, red face, and yellow beak, this parrot is a visual delight. The Senegal Parrot is known for its ability to mimic human speech and is a popular pet due to its intelligence and sociable nature. On the right side of the print, the Great-billed Parrot, also known as the Long-tailed Paradise Parrot, graces us with its presence. This parrot, native to the Pacific Islands, is characterized by its elongated, curved beak, bright red and blue feathers, and yellow eyes. The Great-billed Parrot is a vital part of the ecosystem in its native habitats, playing a role in seed dispersal and pollination. This exquisite print is a testament to the rich history of ornithology and the dedication of naturalists like Buffon and Lejeune to documenting the natural world. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian kingdom and the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations to appreciate.
