EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print depicts the critically endangered Ou, or Parrot-billed Grosbeak (Psittirostra psittacea), a species of honeycreeper native to the Hawaiian Islands. The male and female birds are shown in this illustration, with their vibrant plumage and distinctive parrot-like beaks. The Ou was first described by the English naturalist John Latham in his seminal work, "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester, England, in 1822. Sadly, the Ou is currently classified as critically endangered, with some ornithologists believing that the species may be extinct. The primary cause of their decline is believed to be habitat loss and the introduction of non-native species to the Hawaiian Islands. The Ou once thrived in the forests of Maui and Moloka'i, but their numbers have dwindled dramatically over the past century. This beautiful illustration, drawn and engraved by John Latham himself, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a record of a species that may no longer exist in the wild. The intricate details of the plumage and the lifelike quality of the birds' expressions make this print a valuable addition to any ornithological collection. The Ou's story serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species and preserve the natural world for future generations.
