EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print showcases the vibrant and captivating Red Shining-parrot, Pyrrhulopsis tabuensis, also known as the Tabuan Parrot or the Psittacus tabuensis. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned English naturalist and ornithologist John Latham, is taken from his seminal work, "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester in 1822. The Red Shining-parrot is native to the forests of Central and South America, specifically in the regions of Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela. This parrot is easily recognizable by its brilliant red plumage, with iridescent green and blue feathers on its wings and tail. The parrot's beak is black, and its eyes are a bright orange-yellow color. Latham's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this exquisite print, which captures the intricacies of the Red Shining-parrot's feathers and the subtle shading of its colors. The background of the print is simple, allowing the parrot to take center stage and show off its stunning beauty. The Red Shining-parrot is an important species in the study of ornithology, and Latham's work played a significant role in documenting and preserving the natural history of this fascinating bird. Today, the Red Shining-parrot remains an iconic symbol of the rich biodiversity of the Americas, and its image continues to inspire awe and appreciation in people around the world.
