EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Huia, a now-extinct bird native to New Zealand. The illustration is taken from "A History of the Birds of New Zealand" by W. L. Buller, published in 1887-88 and beautifully rendered as a chromolithograph by Johan Gerard Keulemans. The Huia was known for its distinctive appearance, with its long curved beak and elegant plumage. In this artwork, we see a pair of these magnificent birds perched on a branch adorned with berries, creating a harmonious composition that celebrates the beauty of nature. Keulemans' attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he captures the intricate patterns on their feathers and brings them to life through vibrant colors. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an important historical record of a species lost forever. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this particular piece reminds us of the fragility of our natural world and encourages us to appreciate and protect the diverse creatures that inhabit it. As we gaze upon this stunning depiction, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor of these unique birds firsthand. It serves as a poignant reminder that art has the power not only to captivate but also to educate and inspire conservation efforts for future generations.
