EDITORS COMMENTS
This side view of the skull of the extinct dodo (Raphus cucullatus) is an exquisite lithograph taken from the seminal work "The Dodo and its Kindred" by Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville, published in London by Reeve, Benham and Reeve in 1848. The meticulously hand-colored illustration offers a detailed anatomical exploration of the unique cranial features of this enigmatic and inept bird. The dodo, a native of the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean, is renowned for its distinctive appearance and its unfortunate extinction in the late 17th century. This side view of the skull reveals the dodo's large, rounded cranium, with its prominent parietal bones and the absence of a keel on the frontal bone. The nasal opening is situated at the very tip of the beak, and the eye sockets are relatively small. The skull's robust construction is a testament to the dodo's powerful bite, which it likely used to crush the hard-shelled seeds and nuts that formed the bulk of its diet. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the dodo's place in the annals of ornithological history, and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to explore and learn from. The intricate details of the lithograph, combined with the historical significance of the subject matter, make this a must-have for any collection focusing on the natural history of the Mascarene Islands or the study of extinct birds.
