EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving depicts the Scaly-breasted Lorikeet, Trichoglossus chlorolepidotus, also known as the Spotted Lorikeet or Matous Parrot. The image is taken from Edward Griffiths' publication, "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1829. The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet is a vibrant and striking bird native to New Guinea and the surrounding islands. The male and female of the species can be distinguished by their coloration, with the male displaying a more pronounced spotted pattern on his breast and the female having a smoother, greenish-scaled breast. The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet is a medium-sized parrot, measuring around 30 cm in length. They have a distinctive, elongated, curved beak, which is adapted for their nectar-feeding diet. Their diet consists mainly of nectar, fruit, and flowers, and they play an important role in the pollination of various plant species in their habitat. This engraving is a valuable record of the Scaly-breasted Lorikeet during a time when natural history was a burgeoning field of study. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the illustration showcase the meticulous work of the engraver and the dedication of natural historians to documenting the natural world. The Scaly-breasted Lorikeet remains an iconic and beloved species in the world of ornithology and continues to captivate the imagination of bird enthusiasts and scientists alike.
