18th Century Amazona Bahama Beak Belly Carolina Catesby Cuban Etching Florida Hook Mark Amazon Parrot
EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10: Amazona leucopcephala, or the Cuban Parrot, as depicted in Volume 1 of The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands (1731-1743) by Mark Catesby. This exquisite hand-colored etching provides a detailed and accurate representation of this beautiful and distinctive bird species native to the Caribbean. The Cuban Parrot, also known as the Cuban Amazon or the Toqui, is characterized by its vibrant green plumage, contrasting white belly, and distinctive red and yellow beak. The bird is perched on a branch, its hooked beak curiously examining its surroundings. The intricate details of the feathers, the texture of the branch, and the lifelike quality of the bird's expression are all testament to Catesby's exceptional skill as an artist and naturalist. The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands was one of the most important works of natural history of its time, documenting the flora and fauna of the Americas during the 18th century. Catesby's meticulous illustrations continue to be valued for their historical and scientific significance today.
