EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving showcases the vibrant and captivating Rainbow Lorikeet, Trichoglossus haematodus. The image is taken from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's "Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots," published in Edinburgh in 1833. The engraving was expertly crafted by the skilled hand of Joseph Kidd, showcasing the intricate details of this Moluccan parakeet's stunning plumage. The Rainbow Lorikeet is native to the Pacific Islands and northern Australia, and is known for its distinctive rainbow-colored feathers. The parrot's beak is also noteworthy, as it is specialized for extracting nectar from flowers, making it an important pollinator in its native habitats. This bird is also known as the Rainbow Parakeet or the Rainbow Lorikeet Moluccan, and is a popular species among bird enthusiasts and collectors. This engraving is a testament to the natural history artistry of the 19th century, and provides a glimpse into the fascination and appreciation for the natural world during this period. The intricate details of the Rainbow Lorikeet's feathers, beak, and eyes are beautifully rendered, making this a prized addition to any collection of historical ornithological prints. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, further highlighting the beauty of this remarkable bird.
