EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print showcases the Lesser Adjutant, Leptoptilos javanicus, a vulnerable species of large wading bird native to South Asia. Depicted here in meticulous detail by the skilled hand of John Latham, this Modun Crane is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of ornithological illustration during the early 19th century. The Lesser Adjutant, also known as the Javan Painted Stork, is a distinctive bird with its black plumage, white underparts, and distinctive red eyes. It is easily identified by the long, downward-curving bill and the feathered legs that are typical of the Adjutant family. This print is taken from John Latham's seminal work, A General History of Birds, published in Winchester in 1824. Latham, a renowned English naturalist and ornithologist, dedicated his life to documenting the natural world around him. This print is a testament to his commitment to accurate representation and the beauty of the natural world. The Lesser Adjutant is currently listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Their populations have declined significantly due to habitat loss, disturbance, and hunting. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect this magnificent bird and preserve its place in the natural world.
