EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the King Bird of Paradise, Cicinnurus regius, a captivating avian species native to New Guinea and the surrounding islands. The image, published in The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine in Harrison, London, in the year 1800, is a testament to the remarkable advancements in zoological illustration during the Victorian era. The King Bird of Paradise is renowned for its vibrant plumage and elaborate courtship displays. The male bird, depicted in this engraving, boasts an iridescent green and blue head, a red chest, and a long, curved tail. The female, not shown here, is a more subdued brown color. The illustration, produced by the skilled hands of a copperplate engraver and painstakingly hand-colored by a master colorist, provides an exquisite and accurate representation of the King Bird of Paradise. The intricate details of the bird's feathers, beak, and eyes are rendered with exceptional precision, allowing viewers to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this extraordinary creature. This engraving is an essential addition to any collection of historical natural history illustrations. It not only serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the Pacific region but also as a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the naturalists and illustrators of the past. The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine, which published this image, was a popular periodical that aimed to disseminate knowledge about the natural world to a wide audience. This King Bird of Paradise engraving is a prime example of the magazine's commitment to showcasing the latest discoveries in zoology and advancing scientific understanding through beautiful and accurate illustrations.
