EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the vibrant and captivating Red-vented Cockatoo, Cacatua haematuropygia (also known as Psittacus phillipinarum), a critically endangered species native to the Philippines. The image, created by renowned English naturalist and engraver Peter Brown for his seminal work "New Illustrations of Zoology," published by B. White in London in 1776, offers an intricate and detailed representation of this magnificent bird. The Red-vented Cockatoo, also referred to as the Philippine Cockatoo or Kalangay, is easily recognizable by its distinctive red undertail coverts, contrasting with its white plumage. This elegant and intelligent parrot is critically endangered due to habitat loss, poaching for the pet trade, and competition with invasive species. Lady Read, an esteemed collector of natural history specimens, was likely the possessor of this beautiful engraving in her esteemed collection. The meticulous attention to detail in the artwork, with its lifelike portrayal of the bird's feathers, beak, and eyes, underscores the importance of natural history illustrations in documenting and preserving the natural world. As we admire the beauty and intricacy of this historical artwork, it serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect the Red-vented Cockatoo and other endangered species from extinction.
