EDITORS COMMENTS
This facsimile print showcases a captivating and historically significant representation of the extinct dodo (Raphus cucullatus), as depicted in Roelandt Savery's original artwork housed in the Royal Gallery in Berlin. The image, hand-coloured through a lithographic process, is a reproduction from Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville's seminal work, "The Dodo and its Kindred," published in London in 1848 by Reeve, Benham and Reeve. Roelandt Savery, a Flemish painter, is known for his detailed and accurate depictions of exotic animals. His painting of the dodo, one of the earliest known European representations of this enigmatic bird, has captivated the imagination of generations. The dodo, a flightless bird native to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, is believed to have gone extinct by the late 17th century. This facsimile print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of a bird that once roamed the earth. The intricate details of the dodo's plumage and anatomical features are beautifully rendered, making this print an essential addition to any collection of ornithological art. The hand-colouring process adds a level of depth and vibrancy to the image, further enhancing its appeal. Strickland and Melville's "The Dodo and its Kindred" was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of various extinct and extant bird species. This facsimile print is a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the importance of preserving and documenting its wonders for future generations.
