EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving showcases the striking beauty of the Collared Lory, Phigys solitarius. The Collared Lory, also known as the Vaillant's Collared Parrakeet or the Solitary Lory, is a vibrant and distinctive parrot species native to the tropical rainforests of New Guinea. The Collared Lory is easily recognizable by its green body, bright red underparts, and distinctive yellow collar encircling its neck. The intricate detailing of the feathers on its body and wings is beautifully captured in this engraving, which was created by the skilled hand of Joseph Kidd. This image is taken from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots, published in Edinburgh in 1833. The Miscellany was a comprehensive work on parrots, featuring detailed illustrations and descriptions of various species. The Collared Lory was first described by the French naturalist Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in 1832, and this engraving likely reflects the latest scientific knowledge of the species at the time. The Collared Lory is currently classified in the Psittaculidae family, and is considered to be a near-threatened species due to habitat loss and hunting. This historical print is a testament to the rich ornithological heritage of the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this engraving continue to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
