EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored lithograph depicts a Cockatiel, scientifically known as Nymphicus hollandicus (or Nymphicus novae hollandiae), a popular and beloved pet parrot species native to Australia. The image is taken from an illustration by the renowned English artist Edward Lear, created for Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, published in Leipzig, Germany, in 1842. The Cockatiel is easily recognizable by its distinctive crest, yellow cheek patches, and grey and white plumage. They are known for their playful and sociable nature, making them excellent companions for bird enthusiasts. The species gets its name from the Dutch word "kokartus," which means "little cockatoo." This intricately detailed lithograph showcases the beauty and elegance of the Cockatiel, highlighting its unique features and captivating personality. The meticulous hand-coloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the bird to life and making it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or ornithological art. Edward Lear was a prolific artist, best known for his illustrations of animals, particularly birds, and his literary works, including the popular "Book of Nonsense." His collaboration with Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History resulted in a series of exquisite lithographs that showcased the natural world in all its splendor. This Cockatiel lithograph is a testament to their shared passion for the wonders of nature and their artistic skill in capturing its essence.
