EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Red-and-black grosbeak, also known as Periporphyrus erythromelas, a bird species that is currently classified as near threatened. The image was handcoloured by John Latham and engraved on copperplate for his renowned work, A General History of Birds, published in Winchester in 1822. The Red-and-black grosbeak's striking appearance is beautifully captured in this artwork. Its vibrant red and black plumage stands out against the intricate details of its surroundings. This particular species is closely related to the Black-headed grosbeak (Loxia erythromelas), which adds an interesting dimension to its classification. John Latham's expertise in ornithology shines through in this engraving. His meticulous attention to detail brings the bird to life, allowing viewers to appreciate its unique features and characteristics. The use of handcolouring further enhances the visual appeal of the print, adding depth and richness to every stroke. As we admire this piece from the 19th century, it serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and fragility. The fact that these birds are considered near threatened highlights the importance of conservation efforts for their survival. This print not only celebrates John Latham's artistic talent but also pays homage to these magnificent creatures that grace our world with their presence. It serves as a timeless reminder of our responsibility towards protecting endangered species like the Red-and-black grosbeak for future generations to appreciate and cherish.
