EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph depicts the Arfak Astrapia (Astrapia nigra), a captivating bird endemic to the Arfak Mountains of West Papua, Indonesia. The image is taken from John Gould's "The Birds of New Guinea," a comprehensive work on the avian fauna of the region, produced between 1875 and 1888. The lithograph was created by the renowned British naturalist and artist, Richard Bowdler Sharpe. The Arfak Astrapia is a medium-sized, blue-black bird with a distinctive, curved, blue-green horn-like extension above its beak. The male bird is adorned with a bright green collar, while the female has a brown breast and a less vibrant collar. Their large, expressive eyes and distinctive ear tufts add to their intriguing appearance. The Arfak Astrapia is a daytime bird, and this image captures the moment as it perches on a branch, calling out to its mate or rivals. The bird's bill, which is grey in colour, is slightly curved and pointed, well-suited for its omnivorous diet. The anatomy of the bird is meticulously rendered, showcasing the intricate details of its feathers and body structure. This lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the 19th century's natural history illustrations. It provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the Arfak Astrapia and the natural world.
