EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two intriguing studies of the enigmatic Dodo (Raphus cucullatus), a flightless bird that once called the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius home. The Dodos' distinctive appearance, with their large, round bodies, small wings, and oversized, decurved beaks, has fascinated naturalists and historians for centuries. The first study in this print depicts the Dodo's profile, revealing the intricacies of its unique features. The bird's large, round head is adorned with a prominent, curved beak, which was once believed to have been used for grinding nuts and seeds. Its eyes are small and beady, and its feathers are a mix of gray, black, and pink. The second study in this print offers a glimpse of the Dodo's rear, revealing its short, stubby tail and powerful, flightless legs. The bird's feathers are densely packed, providing insulation for its large body and protecting it from the harsh tropical climate of Mauritius. The Dodos' story is one of mystery and intrigue. They were discovered by European explorers in the late 16th century and were quickly hunted to extinction due to their lack of fear of humans and their inability to fly. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the unique and fascinating creatures that once roamed our planet. This historical print is a rare and valuable resource for those interested in the natural history of Mauritius and the extinct Dodo. It was produced by renowned natural history illustrator, John Sheppard, who expertly captured the essence of this enigmatic bird in these two studies. The print is a testament to the importance of preserving the natural world and documenting the wonders of the natural world, both for the present and for future generations.
