EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 15 from John Gould's The Birds of New Guinea, Volume 5 (1875-88), features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Papuan Lorikeet, or Charmosyna papou. This beautiful avian species is native to the Papuan region of New Guinea and is known for its vibrant plumage. The bird in this illustration is depicted perched on a branch, showcasing its distinctive orange and green feathers. The lorikeet's beak is a striking combination of orange, lilac, and black, with a distinctive forked tip. The bird's expression is alert and curious, as if ready to take flight at a moment's notice. The background of the illustration is filled with lush vegetation, adding to the sense of the tropical daytime setting of New Guinea. The Papuan Lorikeet is a social bird that is often found in pairs or small flocks. They feed on a variety of fruits and nectar, and their long, curved beaks are perfectly adapted for extracting nectar from flowers. This exquisite illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the nineteenth-century naturalists who documented the birds of New Guinea. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of beauty and realism to the lithograph, making it a true work of art. The Papuan Lorikeet remains a beloved and iconic symbol of the unique and diverse avian life found in the Papuan region of New Guinea.
