EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving showcases the Masked Shining Parrot, Prosopeia personata, also known as the Blue-faced Parrot or the Blue-faced Psittacula, which is a vibrant and striking bird species native to the Pacific islands of Fiji and Tonga. The image is taken from Edward Griffiths' publication, "The Animal Kingdom" by the renowned French naturalist, Baron Georges Cuvier, published in London by Whittaker in 1829. The Masked Shining Parrot is depicted with its distinctive blue-black face, red beak, and iridescent green and gold plumage. The intricate detailing of the engraving highlights the bird's elegant features, including its long, curved tail and the fine feathers covering its body. The Masked Shining Parrot was a popular subject in natural history and ornithology during the 19th century due to its unique appearance and limited distribution. Today, it remains an important species in the study of avian biodiversity, and efforts are being made to protect its populations in the wild. This historical print is a testament to the fascination and appreciation for the natural world that has persisted throughout the centuries.
