EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Feast of Natural Wonders: The Straw-headed Bulbul, Yellow-crowned Thrush, and Dardanus Swallowtail Butterfly" This print, created by the skilled hands of Peter Brown in 1776, showcases three remarkable species of the natural world: the Straw-headed Bulbul (Pycnonotus zeylanicus), the Yellow-crowned Thrush (Turdus ochrocephalus), and the Dardanus Swallowtail Butterfly (Graphium dardanus). The illustration is based on observations and studies by Governor Joan Gideon Loten, with additional contributions from Pieter de Bevere and the collection of Marmaduke Tunstall. The Straw-headed Bulbul, a native of Sri Lanka, is depicted with its distinctive yellow crown and orange-red bill. This small, agile bird is known for its melodic song and omnivorous diet. The Yellow-crowned Thrush, also native to Sri Lanka, is shown with its yellow crown, orange-red bill, and speckled brown plumage. This thrush is a ground-dwelling bird, feeding primarily on insects and fruits. The Dardanus Swallowtail Butterfly, a stunning example of the natural world's beauty, graces the bottom left corner of the print. With its vibrant blue wings adorned with yellow spots and a long, black tail, this butterfly is a sight to behold. The Dardanus Swallowtail is native to Africa and is known for its ability to mimic the scent of rotting fruit to attract its prey. This handcoloured copperplate engraving is a testament to the natural history explorations of the 18th century and serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our world. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring these species to life, allowing us to appreciate their unique beauty and importance in the natural world.
