EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of a Congo grey parrot, also known as Psittacus erythacus. The endangered bird is depicted in stunning detail, with its ash-colored feathers and striking presence. The handcolored steel engraving by William Lizars perfectly captures the essence of this magnificent creature. The image originates from Edward Lear's illustration in Prideaux J. Selby's "The Natural History of Parrots" which was part of Sir William Jardine's esteemed "Naturalists Library: Ornithology". This particular print was published in Edinburgh in 1836, adding to its historical significance. The Congo grey parrot has long been admired for its intelligence and ability to mimic human speech. Its exotic nature makes it a sought-after species among bird enthusiasts and collectors alike. However, due to habitat loss and illegal pet trade, these birds have become endangered. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece as a testament to the incredible diversity found within our natural world. It serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and raising awareness about threatened species like the Congo grey parrot. Whether displayed on your wall or added to your collection, this print offers an opportunity to appreciate the unique beauty and fragility of our planet's wildlife.
