EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print showcases the striking features of the Wattled Crane, Bugeranus carunculatus, a vulnerable species of crane native to Africa. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned English naturalist John Latham, is taken from his seminal work, "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester in 1824. The Wattled Crane, also known as the Wattled Grus or Wattled Heron (Ardea carunculata), is easily identified by its distinctive red wattles that hang from the base of its bill and the long, black plumes on its head and neck. Once widespread across Africa, this magnificent bird now faces numerous threats, including habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, and collisions with power lines. This beautiful work of art not only serves as a testament to the natural beauty of the Wattled Crane but also as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect this vulnerable species and preserve biodiversity for future generations.
