EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 6 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots (1832) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of a Long-billed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus baudinii), also known as Baudin's Black Cockatoo or White-tailed Black Cockatoo. This magnificent avian species is native to southwestern Australia and is characterized by its distinctive long, curved, black beak, downy feathers, and white tail. The cockatoo is perched on a branch, showcasing its vibrant green plumage and the intricate details of its anatomy. The sauropsid, or reptile-like, features of the bird, such as its scaly feet and the hooked tip of its beak, are evident. The Victorian-era illustration captures the bird's intense gaze and the fluffy texture of its feathers, making it a captivating work of art. Edward Lear, the renowned English artist, created this illustration as part of his comprehensive work on the Psittacidae family, which includes parrots and cockatoos. The meticulous attention to detail and the rich use of colour make this lithograph a valuable historical document and an exquisite example of 19th-century natural history art. The Long-billed Black Cockatoo is an essential part of the biodiversity of Australia, and its preservation is crucial for maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. This illustration serves as a reminder of the beauty and importance of the natural world and the role that art plays in documenting and celebrating it.
