EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Striated starling, also known as a Blue-striped roller. The handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving was skillfully created by John Latham for his renowned publication, A General History of Birds in Winchester, 1822. The Striated starling is depicted with meticulous detail, its vibrant plumage brought to life through delicate strokes of color. This bird species is native to New Caledonia and is characterized by its striking blue stripes that adorn its feathers. Its elegant posture and piercing gaze capture the essence of this magnificent creature. John Latham's expertise in ornithology shines through in this artwork, showcasing his deep understanding and appreciation for avian species. His work not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes to scientific knowledge about these fascinating creatures. As we admire this enchanting image, we are transported back to the 19th century when Latham's groundbreaking work first graced the pages of natural history books. Through his engravings, he invites us into a world where birds come alive on paper, allowing us to appreciate their intricate details and marvel at their diversity.
