EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving showcases the vibrant and captivating Turquoise Parrot, Neophema pulchella. The intricate detailing of the feathers, beak, and eyes in this beautiful artwork is a testament to the skill of the engraver, Joseph Kidd. The Turquoise Parrot, also known as the Turkosine Parrot or the Psittacus pulchellus, is a native of Australia and is recognized for its distinctive turquoise-green plumage and orange-red underparts. This engraving is part of Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots, published in Edinburgh in 1833. The Miscellany was a comprehensive collection of handcolored plates depicting various species of parrots, produced during the height of the ornithological revolution in the 19th century. The work was significant in advancing the scientific understanding of avian anatomy and taxonomy. This particular print, with its stunning depiction of the Turquoise Parrot, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the importance of preserving and documenting it for future generations.
