EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming chromolithograph depicts two exotic and vibrant birds, the Rose-ringed Parakeet (Psittacula krameri) and the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo (Cacatua galerita), from the beautiful and intricately illustrated book "Beautiful Birds in Far-Off Lands" by Victorian sisters Mary and Elizabeth Kirby. Published in 1872 by T. Nelson in London, this work was a popular natural history book for children, filled with detailed and colorful illustrations of various species from around the world. The Rose-ringed Parakeet, with its emerald green plumage, rose-ringed neck, and distinctive red beak, is a native of Africa and Asia. Known for their social behavior and intelligence, these birds are often kept as pets due to their striking appearance and ability to mimic human speech. The Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, on the other hand, is native to Australia and New Guinea. With its distinctive crest of yellow feathers, this large and intelligent bird is known for its loud and distinctive call. Cockatoos are omnivorous and are often found in pairs or small flocks. This exquisite chromolithograph, created by an unknown artist and engraver, showcases the sisters' dedication to natural history and their ability to capture the beauty and wonder of these exotic birds for a younger audience. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these birds to life, transporting the viewer to far-off lands and allowing them to appreciate the natural world in all its splendor.
