EDITORS COMMENTS
White Dodo II" is a rare and captivating heliotype print created by Pieter Holsteyn in 1638, depicting a female White Dodo (Raphus cucullatus). This exquisite work of art is a testament to the fascination that the extinct bird held for Europeans during the early modern period. The White Dodo, also known as the Raphus cucullatus or the Red-bellied Dodo, was a flightless bird endemic to the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It is believed to have gone extinct around the mid-17th century due to human activities, such as hunting and habitat destruction. Holsteyn's "White Dodo II" is a meticulously detailed representation of the bird, with its distinctive plumage, large beak, and round body. The heliotype process, which involved the transfer of an image from a copper plate to paper using light, allowed for a high level of detail and tonal range, making this print a valuable resource for ornithological studies. This particular print is from the renowned "Dodo Studies" series, published by Dr. Anthonie Cornelis Oudemans in Amsterdam in 1917. Oudemans was a Dutch zoologist and museum director who dedicated his career to the study of the dodo and other extinct birds of Mauritius. The series included various illustrations and descriptions of the dodo and its related species, making it an essential reference for ornithologists and natural historians. The heliotype print of "White Dodo II" by Pieter Holsteyn is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable historical and scientific document. It offers a glimpse into the natural history of a bird that once roamed the earth but is now only remembered through the preservation of images like this one.
