EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the majesty of the King of Saxony Bird-of-Paradise, Pteridophora alberti, in all its coloured glory. Depicted in Plate 38 of Richard Bowdler Sharpe's Monograph of the Paradiseidae, or Birds of Paradise, and Ptilonorynchid, or Bower Birds, Volume 1 (1891-98), this avian king is perched gracefully on a long, slender branch, displaying its intricately patterned plumage. The King of Saxony Bird-of-Paradise is a passerine bird belonging to the Paradisaeidae family, native to the daytime forests of New Guinea. This bird is renowned for its elaborate courtship displays, which involve raising and spreading its long, wires-like feathers from its belly, creating an impressive, fan-like structure. The illustration, produced during the nineteenth century, offers a glimpse into the natural world of a bygone era. The meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colour palette showcase the artist's skill and dedication to accurately depicting this remarkable bird. The King of Saxony Bird-of-Paradise is a true testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian kingdom. This illustration offers a unique and fascinating insight into the natural history of this enchanting bird, transporting us back in time to a day when exploration and discovery were at the forefront of scientific endeavour.
