EDITORS COMMENTS
This plate is an exquisite illustration from "The Ornithology of Francis Willughby," published in 1678. The plate features a stunning array of birds, showcasing the natural beauty and diversity of avian species known during the early period of zoological exploration. Among the depicted birds, the extinct Dodo, the Turkey, and the Peacock stand out as notable figures. Francis Willughby (1635-1672), an English antiquarian and naturalist, collaborated with the renowned artist John Ray to produce this groundbreaking work. The plate reflects the meticulous attention to detail and accuracy that characterized their ornithological research. The inclusion of the Dodo, an extinct bird native to the island of Mauritius, is particularly noteworthy. The Dodo, which became extinct around the late 1600s, was a large flightless bird that was hunted to extinction due to human activity. Its depiction in this plate serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of the natural world. The presence of the Turkey and Peacock in the plate is also intriguing, as both birds have significant cultural and historical significance. Turkeys were domesticated for their meat and were popular in European cuisine and falconry. Peacocks, with their iridescent plumage, were revered for their beauty and were often kept as decorative birds in royal courts. This plate not only showcases the natural history of various birds but also provides a glimpse into the early days of ornithology and the fascination with the natural world that drove scholars like Willughby and Ray to explore and document the wonders of the animal kingdom.
