EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Southern cassowary, also known as Casuarius casuarius. The image is a handcoloured woodblock engraving created by the talented John Latham in the early 19th century. It was featured in his renowned publication, "The Natural History of Birds" which was published by Brightly and Childs in Bungay, Suffolk. The Southern cassowary depicted here exudes an air of regal elegance with its striking appearance and unique features. Its galeated head and vibrant plumage are beautifully captured through Latham's meticulous artistry. This illustration serves as a testament to both the scientific accuracy and artistic skill prevalent during this era. Charles Brightly, a visionary printer and stereotype founder, established his printing business in Bungay back in 1795. In 1808, he joined forces with John Firby Childs, an influential nonconformist radical printer. Together they formed a successful partnership that allowed them to publish remarkable works like Latham's "The Natural History of Birds". This stunning print not only appeals to ornithology enthusiasts but also captivates those who appreciate fine art and scientific illustrations from the Georgian-Regency period. Its intricate details bring this majestic bird to life on paper, making it a valuable addition to any collection or display.
