EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the beauty and uniqueness of two fascinating bird species - the Southern cassowary and the dodo. The Southern cassowary, classified as vulnerable, is a large flightless bird native to the tropical forests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia. Its striking appearance with vibrant blue skin on its neck and bright red wattles make it a truly captivating creature.
In contrast, the dodo depicted in this illustration is sadly extinct, serving as a poignant reminder of the impact humans can have on fragile ecosystems. Native to Mauritius, this iconic bird was famously unable to fly and fell victim to hunting by European settlers in the 17th century.
The intricate details captured in this lithograph by Bretzing from an illustration by Ludwig Meyer showcase the artistry and dedication that went into documenting these incredible creatures for future generations. Published in Friedrich Philipp Wilmsen's Handbook of Natural History for Children in 1821, this image serves as both a historical record and a testament to the importance of conservation efforts.
As we admire these birds from centuries past, let us remember our responsibility to protect and preserve our planet's biodiversity for generations to come.
