Plate 18 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots (1832): A Striking Hand-Coloured Lithograph of Barnardius zonarius barnardi, the Australian Ringneck Parakeet This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 18 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots (1832), showcases the captivating beauty of Barnardius zonarius barnardi, the Australian Ringneck Parakeet. The parakeet is depicted perched confidently on a gnarled branch, its vibrant plumage a dazzling array of blues and greens. The collar of feathers around its neck, which gives this species its common name, is particularly prominent, adding to its distinctive appearance. Edward Lear, a renowned English artist and illustrator, meticulously captured the anatomy and details of this Australian native bird. The intricate feather patterns, the curve of its beak, and the subtle variations in colour all contribute to the lifelike quality of the illustration. The branch, with its rough texture and naturalistic bark, provides a perfect contrast to the smooth, colourful plumage of the parakeet. The Nineteenth Century, in which this lithograph was created, was a time of great interest in natural history and the documentation of the natural world. Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae was a significant contribution to this field, providing a detailed record of various parrot species, many of which were newly discovered. This particular illustration of Barnardius zonarius barnardi remains an important historical document and a testament to Lear's artistic skill. Barnardius zonarius, also known as Bauers Parakeet, is native to eastern and south-eastern Australia. It is a popular species among bird enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and lively personality. Today, it is listed as a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), but it faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.
