EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph captures the side view of the skull of a dodo, a now-extinct bird that has captured the imagination of people for centuries. The intricate details of the anatomy are beautifully rendered in this 19th-century print from Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville's "The Dodo and its Kindred."
The dodo, known scientifically as Raphus cucullatus, was native to Mauritius but became extinct by the late 17th century due to human activity. This image serves as a reminder of our impact on the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts.
The hand-colored lithograph showcases not only the unique features of the dodo's skull but also highlights its place in history as a symbol of extinction and loss. The meticulous attention to detail in this illustration speaks to the dedication and expertise of anatomists like Strickland and Melville.
As we gaze upon this relic from a bygone era, we are reminded of both the beauty and fragility of life on Earth. It is through images like these that we can continue to learn about our planet's rich biodiversity and strive to protect it for future generations.
