EDITORS COMMENTS
Two exquisite specimens of the Western Rosella, Platycercus icterotis, gracefully pose against a pristine white background in this ornithological photograph. Dated 1894, these specimens bear the catalog numbers 1894.10.26.10 (top) and 1894.10.26.8 (bottom) and were likely collected during the Earl of Derby's expedition to Australia. The Western Rosella, also known as the Stanley Rosella or the Yellow-cheeked Parakeet, is a vibrant and striking bird native to Western Australia. With their brilliant red underparts, contrasting black and yellow wings, and distinctive yellow cheek patches, these parrots are a delight to observe in their natural habitat. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of ornithology and the early days of bird collection. The meticulous care taken to preserve these specimens and present them against a neutral background highlights their natural beauty and allows for detailed study of their anatomy and plumage. As members of the Psittacidae family, Western Rosellas are part of the larger order of birds known as Psittaciformes, which includes parrots, parakeets, and other related species. The Sauropsida classification, to which they belong, refers to the clade of reptile-descended vertebrates that includes birds and their closest living relatives. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the role that ornithology plays in documenting and understanding the diverse array of species that inhabit our planet.
