EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 32 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae or Parrots, featuring the Grey-hooded Parakeet or Psilopsiagon aymara, is a stunning hand-colored lithograph from the 19th century. Dated 1832, this exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of this vibrant and captivating bird. The Grey-hooded Parakeet is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its grey hood and mauve and pink plumage contrasting beautifully against the green foliage. Lear's expert use of color and shading brings the parakeet to life, highlighting its distinctive features such as its long, curved beak, red and green shoulder patch, and the joint of its tail feathers. Edward Lear (1812-1888), a renowned English artist, created this illustration as part of his extensive work on the avian world. The Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae or Parrots is a testament to Lear's dedication and passion for natural history. The Victorian era, known for its fascination with the natural world, saw a surge in the production of such detailed and accurate illustrations, making this piece an essential addition to any collection of historical ornithological art. The Grey-hooded Parakeet, a member of the Sauropsida class and the Psittaciformes order, is native to South America. Its unique appearance and striking colors have made it a favorite among bird enthusiasts and collectors. This hand-colored lithograph is a beautiful representation of the Grey-hooded Parakeet's natural beauty and serves as a reminder of the rich history of natural history illustration.
