EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Jacob Cornelis van Neck's Voyage in 1601, showcasing Dutch sailors fishing on the picturesque island of Mauritius. In the foreground, we see two iconic dodo birds, now extinct, peacefully coexisting with a giant tortoise known as Cylindras inepta. The lithograph beautifully illustrates the unique wildlife that once thrived on this remote island.
The image is a facsimile of plate 2 from Hugh Edwin Strickland and Alexander Gordon Melville's renowned book "The Dodo and its Kindred," published in London in 1848. It offers a glimpse into the natural history and zoology of Mauritius during the 17th century when these fascinating creatures roamed freely.
As we admire this historical depiction, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our planet's biodiversity and protecting endangered species from facing the same fate as the dodo bird and giant tortoise. The intricate details captured in this lithograph serve as a poignant reminder of our responsibility to safeguard vulnerable ecosystems for future generations to appreciate.
Let us cherish this snapshot from centuries past and reflect on how far we have come in our understanding and appreciation of nature's wonders. May it inspire us to continue striving towards conservation efforts that will ensure such magnificent creatures are never lost again to extinction.
