EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning hand-coloured steel engraving of the Turquoise parrot, Neophema pulchella, and the Turkosine parrakeet, Psittacus pulchellus. Created by Joseph Kidd after John Audubon's original artwork, this exquisite piece is taken from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's "Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots" published in Edinburgh in 1833. The Miscellany was intended to be a comprehensive series covering various aspects of natural history. However, it came to an abrupt halt after only two volumes due to controversy surrounding unauthorized use of Audubon's illustrations. This incident sheds light on the ethical concerns related to plagiarism and copyright infringement even during that era. In this particular engraving, every intricate detail has been meticulously etched onto steel plates before being hand-coloured with precision. The vibrant hues bring these avian beauties to life as they perch gracefully amidst their natural habitat. John James Audubon himself was renowned for his exceptional ornithological works and played a significant role in popularizing bird studies through his detailed illustrations. Although his objections halted further publication of the Miscellany series, this print serves as a testament to both Audubon's talent and the enduring allure of these enchanting birds. Alamy presents this remarkable photograph print as part of their vast collection capturing moments from history. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not just the visual splendor but also reflect upon important issues such as artistic integrity and intellectual property rights that persist even today.
