EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured engraving showcases the vibrant beauty of the Greater Antillean Bullfinch (Loxigilla violacea), also known as the Violaceous Grosbeak or the Loxia Violacea. The image was meticulously drawn from life in Jamaica by the skilled natural history artist, Charles Hamilton Smith, and later published in Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, in London in 1829. The Greater Antillean Bullfinch is a native bird of the Greater Antilles, specifically found in Jamaica, Cuba, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico. This bird is characterized by its distinctive plumage, featuring a bright purple head, chest, and underparts, contrasting with its olive-green back and wings. The male and female have similar appearances, with the female being slightly less vibrant in coloration. The Greater Antillean Bullfinch is a medium-sized bird, measuring around 15 cm in length. It is an omnivorous species, feeding on fruits, seeds, and insects. This bird is known for its melodic song, which is a series of clear, ringing notes that can be heard throughout the forests of the Greater Antilles. Charles Hamilton Smith was a prominent English natural history artist who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to accurately capture the essence of the subjects he depicted. His works were widely published in various natural history publications during the 19th century, making him a significant figure in the field of ornithology. This handcoloured engraving is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the habitats of species like the Greater Antillean Bullfinch for future generations to enjoy.
