EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "White Dodo and Red-breasted Goose," is an exquisite work of art from the Transactions of the Zoological Society of London, Volume 6, published in 1868. The illustration was created by the renowned Dutch naturalist and artist J. Smit. The White Dodo (Raphus solitarius) and Red-breasted Goose (Didus ineptus, also known as the Sacred Ibis of Reunion and the Red-breasted Goose of Mauritius, respectively) are depicted in this stunning image. The White Dodo, a flightless bird endemic to the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean, is famously extinct, having disappeared around the 17th century due to human activities. The Red-breasted Goose, on the other hand, is an endangered species native to Mauritius and Réunion Island. Its population has been declining due to habitat loss and hunting. The mythical White Dodo, with its pure white plumage and distinctive red eyes, is often depicted in art and literature as a symbol of the islands' unique biodiversity that was lost to human exploitation. The Red-breasted Goose, with its vibrant red breast and distinctive black and white plumage, is a reminder of the delicate balance of ecosystems and the importance of conservation efforts. This historical artwork not only showcases the natural beauty of these two species but also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the world's biodiversity. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the lithograph make it a fascinating addition to any collection, whether for scientific, artistic, or historical purposes.
