EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South Island kokako, a bird species that was declared extinct in 2007. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was created by John Latham for his renowned publication, A General History of Birds, in Winchester back in 1822. The South Island kokako, scientifically known as Callaeas cinerea cinerea or Cinereous wattle bird (Calloeas cinerea), once inhabited the picturesque landscapes of New Zealand's South Island. Its stunning plumage and unique features made it a beloved subject among ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. Sadly, due to various factors such as habitat loss and predation by introduced species, this magnificent bird vanished from its natural habitat over time. However, through this beautifully crafted artwork, we can still appreciate the beauty and grandeur of this now-extinct species. John Latham's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The vibrant colors bring life to the image while capturing the essence of this remarkable creature. This piece serves not only as a visual delight but also as a historical record documenting an important part of New Zealand's avian heritage. As we gaze upon this print today, let us remember the importance of preserving our planet's biodiversity and working towards preventing further extinctions. May it serve as a reminder that every living being deserves our care and protection for generations to come.
