EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases two exquisite and endangered bird species: the Red-and-blue Lory (Eos histrio) and the Moluccan King Parrot (Alisterus amboinensis). The Red-and-blue Lory, also known as the Rainbow Lory, is native to the islands of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. With its vibrant red and blue plumage, this bird is a true visual delight. However, its population is currently endangered due to habitat loss and hunting for the pet trade. The Moluccan King Parrot, native to the Moluccan Islands in Indonesia, is another captivating avian species. The male Moluccan King Parrot boasts a brilliant red body, a blue face, and a green and yellow beak. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued appearance with a green body and a red head. This species is also endangered due to habitat loss and hunting for the pet trade. This beautiful lithograph is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print highlight the unique beauty of these two birds, making it a valuable addition to any ornithology collection. The handcolouring adds an extra layer of artistry to the already impressive lithograph, making it a true work of art. As we admire the beauty of these birds in this print, it serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting their habitats and populations from further decline. Let us take steps to ensure that future generations can appreciate the natural wonders of the Red-and-blue Lory and the Moluccan King Parrot in their natural habitats.
