EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases two stunningly beautiful and vibrant birds of the Caribbean: the Brown-throated Parakeet (Eupsittula pertinax) and the Long-tailed Green Parrot (Psittacus rufirostris). The image is taken from Th. Lejeune's Complete Works of Buffon, published in Brussels in 1837. The Brown-throated Parakeet, also known as the Aratinga pertinax, is a native of Central and South America, with a distinctive brown throat, green body, and a red tail tip. They are social birds that live in flocks and are known for their loud, distinctive calls. The Long-tailed Green Parrot, also called the Sincialo or Dominica Parrot, is native to the Caribbean island of Dominica. This parrot is easily recognizable by its long, bright green tail feathers, red beak, and yellow eyes. They are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and hunting. This intricately detailed lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past. The hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of ornithological prints or natural history art.
