EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph of a Dwarf Cassowary's head, created by the renowned Dutch natural history illustrator JG Keulemans, offers a captivating glimpse into the exotic and intriguing world of these enigmatic birds. The illustration, based on the live animals at Walter Rothschild's Museum at Tring, was published in the Transactions of the Zoological Society of London in 1898. During the late 19th century, illustrators played a crucial role in creating scientifically accurate records of species appearances. Keulemans' meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of color bring the distinctive features of the Dwarf Cassowary (Casuarius bennetti) to life. With its vibrant blue wattles, colorful feathers, and distinctive helmet-like casque, this Cassowary species is a true marvel of the avian world. The Cassowary, a member of the Casuariidae family and the Casuariiformes order, is native to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia. This portrait of a Dwarf Cassowary's head, with its side view and profile, offers a unique perspective on the anatomy of this fascinating bird.

Keulemans' masterpiece is a reminder of the vital role that scientific illustration plays in documenting and preserving the world's diverse wildlife.
