EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph of a Northern 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 unique 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 19th century, illustrators played a crucial role in creating scientifically accurate records of species appearances. Keulemans' meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of colour bring the Northern Cassowary's distinctive features to life. With its golden neck, single wattled head, and piercing gaze, this portrait offers a vivid and detailed representation of the Northern Cassowary (Casuarius unappendiculatus aurantiacus), a species of large, flightless bird native to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia. The Northern Cassowary is a member of the Casuariidae family, which is part of the larger group of Sauropsida, or reptile-like birds. This illustration provides a valuable historical record of the species' anatomy and appearance, offering insights into the natural history of these fascinating animals. The Northern Cassowary is one of three known species of Cassowary, and is characterized by its blue-black plumage, golden neck, and distinctive wattle. This illustration, with its side view and profile, offers a comprehensive and detailed record of the bird's head, providing a window into the natural world of the late 19th century.
