EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the side view of the head of a dodo, an extinct flightless bird that has captured the imagination of people for centuries. The detailed illustration, drawn and lithographed by Joseph Dinkel from Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville's book "The Dodo and its Kindred," provides a rare glimpse into the anatomy of this fascinating creature.
Displayed in both the Ashmolean Museum and the British Museum, this restored head offers a unique opportunity to study the internal structure of one of nature's most enigmatic creations. The intricate details captured in this print highlight the skill and precision of 19th-century anatomists who sought to unravel the mysteries surrounding this iconic bird.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to when dodos roamed freely on their native island before falling victim to human colonization. The hand-colored lithograph brings to life not only the physical features of the dodo but also serves as a poignant reminder of our impact on Earth's delicate ecosystems.
Through art and science, we continue to learn more about these magnificent creatures that once inhabited our planet. This print serves as a testament to our ongoing quest for knowledge and understanding of the natural world around us.
