EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, taken from the Natural History (Naturgeschichte) by Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert, published in Munich in 1886, showcases an impressive assembly of four distinctive and intriguing birds: the Ostrich (Struthio camelus, C), the Great Bustard (Otis tarda, A), the Southern Cassowary (Casuarius casuarius, B), and the Greater Rhea (Rhea americana, D). The Ostrich, native to Africa, is the world's largest bird, standing at an impressive height of up to 9 feet (2.7 meters). Known for its long neck and legs, this flightless bird is recognized for its distinctive plumage, with males boasting black feathers and females displaying a mix of brown and gray. The Great Bustard, native to Europe and Asia, is the heaviest flying bird, with males weighing up to 18 pounds (8.2 kg). This ground-dwelling bird is characterized by its large size, distinctive crest, and brown and black plumage. The Southern Cassowary, native to New Guinea and northeastern Australia, is the world's most dangerous bird, with a sharp horn on its head and powerful legs capable of inflicting serious injury. This flightless bird is covered in black, blue, and red wattles and feathers. The Greater Rhea, native to South America, is the largest bird in the Americas, with males reaching up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) in height. This flightless bird is characterized by its long neck, brown and white plumage, and distinctive oval eggs. This stunning chromolithograph not only showcases the unique physical attributes of these birds but also captures the essence of their natural habitats and the wonder they evoke. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these magnificent creatures to life, making this a true masterpiece of zoological illustration.
