EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty of a glossy black cockatoo, known scientifically as Calyptorhynchus lathami. The image showcases the intricate details of this exotic bird's feathers and features, highlighting its unique charm. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Lizars beautifully brings out the vibrant colors and textures of the cockatoo's plumage. The glossy black cockatoo is also referred to as stellated geringore or Calyptorynchus stellatus in some regions. This species is native to Australia and is renowned for its striking appearance and distinctive call. Its elegant silhouette against a contrasting background adds depth to this artwork. Originally featured in Prideaux J. Selby's "The Natural History of Parrots" within Sir William Jardine's esteemed publication "Naturalists Library: Ornithology" this illustration by Edward Lear has been skillfully transformed into a timeless piece of art by Lizars. Bird enthusiasts and nature lovers will appreciate the attention to detail captured in this print, showcasing both scientific accuracy and artistic finesse.
