EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enigmatic and extinct Hooded Dodo, Raphus cucullatus. The image, created by John Pass after George Edwards, was first published in John Wilkes' Encyclopedia Londinensis in 1803. The Hooded Dodo, also known as Didus ineptus, was a flightless bird endemic to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The Hooded Dodo is easily recognizable by its distinctive features, including its large, round body, small wings, and most notably, its distinctive hood or casque, which covered its head and neck. This unique feature was believed to have been used for display purposes during mating rituals. The Hooded Dodo was also characterized by its short, stubby legs and large, red eyes. The Hooded Dodo lived during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, and is believed to have gone extinct around the 17th century, likely due to human activity, such as hunting and habitat destruction. The discovery of the Hooded Dodo and other extinct birds on Mauritius, such as the Dodo, helped to spark the world's fascination with these mysterious and enigmatic creatures. This beautiful engraving serves as a reminder of the rich natural history of our planet and the importance of preserving the world's biosphere for future generations. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the engraving bring the Hooded Dodo to life, allowing us to appreciate the wonder and beauty of this extinct flightless bird.
