Dodo and guinea pig, 1750. Artist: George Edwards
Dodo and guinea pig, 1750. A dodo - Didus ineptus, an extinct flightless bird from Mauritius and a guinea pig - Cavia porcellus, a rodent native to South America. Portuguese sailors were the first people to see a dodo when they arrived at Mauritius in 1507. By 1681, a combination of the activities of people and the animals they introduced onto the island had completely eradicated the birds. From A Natural History of Uncommon Birds by George Edwards.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique encounter between two fascinating creatures from different corners of the world. Painted by the talented artist George Edwards in 1750, this image depicts a dodo and a guinea pig side by side. The dodo, scientifically known as Didus ineptus, was an extinct flightless bird native to Mauritius. Portuguese sailors were fortunate enough to lay eyes on these magnificent birds when they arrived at Mauritius in 1507. However, due to human activities and the introduction of foreign animals onto the island, the dodos became completely eradicated by 1681. Accompanying the dodo is a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), a small rodent originally hailing from South America. This unlikely pairing highlights not only their physical differences but also represents an intersection of continents and biodiversity. George Edwards' engraving beautifully captures both creatures with intricate detail and vibrant colors. Through his work, he brings attention to these remarkable species that have since vanished from our planet's landscape. As we admire this print today, let us reflect on the importance of preserving our natural heritage and ensuring that no more extraordinary creatures suffer such tragic fates as the dodo did centuries ago.
