EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving showcases a captivating Galah bird, scientifically known as Eolophus roseicapilla, also recognized as the Rose cockatoo or Psittacus eos. The Galah is an iconic and distinctive bird native to Australia, recognized by its pink body, orange beak, and grey head and underwings. This exquisite illustration is a specimen from the Linnean Society Museum and was published in Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom," edited by the renowned French naturalist, Baron Georges Cuvier. The publication, which was released in London by Whittaker in 1829, was a significant contribution to the field of natural history, zoology, and ornithology. The Galah bird is a social and gregarious species, often found in flocks, and is known to feed on a variety of fruits, seeds, and buds. Its vibrant plumage and playful demeanor have made it a beloved symbol of the Australian continent. This beautiful engraving not only serves as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the past but also provides a glimpse into the rich natural history of the Galah bird and its native land.
