1. Title: "A Little Penguin, or White-flippered Penguin (Eudyptula minor, Aptenodytes minor albosignata) - A Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving from John Latham's 'A General History of Birds' (1824)" This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the captivating details of a Little Penguin, also known as the White-flippered Penguin (Eudyptula minor, Aptenodytes minor albosignata). The image is taken from the seminal work "A General History of Birds" by renowned English ornithologist, John Latham, published in Winchester in 1824. Latham's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricately rendered plumage of the penguin, with its distinct black and white markings and the contrasting white flippers. The engraving also highlights the penguin's small size, making it an apt representation of the species' diminutive stature. The Little Penguin, native to Australia and New Zealand, is the smallest of all penguin species. This engraving offers a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird, providing an insight into its appearance and the scientific knowledge of the time. John Latham's 'A General History of Birds' was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring accurate and detailed illustrations of a wide range of bird species. This particular engraving serves as a testament to Latham's dedication to documenting the natural world and his artistic skill in bringing these creatures to life through his engravings. In this beautiful and intricate image, the Little Penguin stands proudly, showcasing its unique characteristics and contributing to the rich legacy of ornithological illustration.
