EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant beauty of a Crimson Rosella, scientifically known as Platycercus elegans. The image captures the bird's striking plumage in exquisite detail, highlighting its deep crimson feathers that contrast beautifully with patches of blue on its wings and tail. The artwork is a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by William Lizars, based on an illustration by Edward Lear from Prideaux J. Selby's "The Natural History of Parrots". This masterpiece was published in Sir William Jardine's renowned "Naturalists Library: Ornithology" in Edinburgh back in 1836. The Crimson Rosella is also referred to as the Pennantian Broad-tail or Platycercus pennantii. It belongs to the parrot family and is native to Australia. Its exotic appearance makes it a popular subject among bird enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Bridgeman Images has skillfully reproduced this timeless artwork, allowing us to appreciate the intricate details and artistic brilliance captured within each stroke of Lizars' engraving. This print serves as a testament to both the natural wonders found in our world and the talent of skilled artists who bring them to life.
