EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 25 from Extinct and Vanishing Birds of the World (1907) by Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild presents a poignant image of the Raphus solitarius, also known as the Reunion white dodo or the Reunion sacred ibis. This extinct bird was endemic to the Mascarene Island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. The Raphus solitarius was a large, flightless bird, measuring around 1.2 meters in length and weighing up to 15 kilograms. It was characterized by its bald, pinkish-gray head and neck, long, heavy bill, and white plumage. The Raphus solitarius was a significant source of food for the early settlers of Reunion Island, and it was hunted to extinction by the late 1860s. This photograph, taken in the nineteenth century, provides a rare glimpse into the appearance and features of this enigmatic bird. Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild, a prominent British naturalist and ornithologist, compiled this collection of extinct and vanishing birds to document the natural history of these species and raise awareness about the importance of conservation. This plate, featuring the Reunion white dodo, underscores the tragic consequences of human exploitation of natural resources and the loss of biodiversity. The Raphus solitarius was a member of the Columbidae family, which includes pigeons and doves, and was also classified as a Pelecaniformes, a group of birds characterized by their webbed feet and long, decurved bills. Its closest living relative is believed to be the Madagascar serpent-eagle, which is also extinct. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving the world's biodiversity and the role that scientific documentation plays in understanding the natural world. Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild's work continues to inspire and inform contemporary conservation efforts, making his legacy a vital contribution to the field of natural history.
