EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the striking features of the Blyth's Hornbill, also known as the Papuan Hornbill, Wreathed Hornbill, or Buceros plicatus. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist John Latham, is taken from his seminal work, "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester in 1822. The Blyth's Hornbill is a large, majestic bird native to the forests of New Guinea and the surrounding islands. With a wingspan of up to 1.5 meters, it is one of the largest hornbills in the world. The bird's most distinctive feature is its elaborate casque, a helmet-like structure on its upper beak, which is thought to amplify its calls and enhance its display. The feathers of the Blyth's Hornbill are predominantly black, with iridescent green and purple sheens, and the bird's wattles and eye rings are bright red. Latham's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning print, which captures the intricacies of the bird's plumage and anatomy. The artist's skillful use of hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Blyth's Hornbill to life in a way that a black-and-white print could not. John Latham was a pioneering figure in the field of ornithology, and his work was instrumental in advancing our understanding of the natural world. This beautiful print is a testament to his dedication and expertise, and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian species that inhabit our planet.
