EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored steel engraving showcases the Port Lincoln Ringneck, Barnadius zonarius, a captivating parrot species native to the southwestern tip of Eyre Peninsula in Australia. The Port Lincoln Ringneck, also known as the Zoned Parrot or the Zoned Ringneck, is a medium-sized parrot with vibrant plumage. The male's distinctive features include a red face, blue-grey wings, and a yellow ring around its neck, while the female sports a more subdued color palette with a green face and brown wings. This stunning representation of the Port Lincoln Ringneck was created by the skilled hand of Joseph Kidd, an accomplished engraver, for Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots, published in Edinburgh in 1833. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving brings out the intricate textures and patterns of the bird's feathers, making it a valuable addition to any ornithological collection. The Port Lincoln Ringneck was first described by naturalist John Gould in 1838 and is now classified under the family Psittaculidae. The species is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and fragmentation, making conservation efforts crucial for its survival. This historical engraving serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and documenting its diverse inhabitants for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
