EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the tibia and metatarsus of the extinct Rodrigues solitaire, Pezophaps solitaria, as depicted in the Parisian Collection and Andersonian Collection. The intricate details of these bones provide a glimpse into the anatomy of this fascinating creature that once roamed the island of Rodrigues.
Created by Werner and Tuffen West, this hand-colored lithograph is part of Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville's renowned work "The Dodo and its Kindred" published in London in 1848. Alongside other extinct species such as the dodo (Raphus cucullatus) and didus ineptus, this print offers a valuable insight into the diversity of wildlife that has been lost to time.
