Plate 37 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots (1832): A Stunning Hand-Colored Lithograph of Lorius chlorocercus, the Yellow-Bibbed Lory This exquisite hand-colored lithograph, Plate 37 from Edward Lear's Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots (1832), showcases the vibrant and captivating beauty of Lorius chlorocercus, the Yellow-Bibbed Lory. The lory is perched gracefully on a branch, its bright orange body contrasting beautifully with the deep blue collar that encircles its neck. Its long, curved beak is open slightly, revealing the pink interior, while its expressive eyes seem to gaze intently at the viewer. Edward Lear, a renowned English artist and writer, created this illustration as part of his comprehensive work on the parrot family. The intricate details of the lory's plumage are expertly rendered, with each feather appearing lifelike and meticulously colored. The background is kept simple, allowing the lory to take center stage and captivate the viewer's attention. The use of hand-coloring adds an extra layer of depth and richness to the illustration, bringing the lory to life in a way that a black-and-white print could not. The 19th century, when this work was produced, was a time of great interest in natural history, and Lear's illustrations were highly regarded for their accuracy and artistic merit. The lory's bright colors and distinctive collar make it a striking and memorable bird, and this illustration serves as a testament to Lear's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the natural world. Whether appreciated for its historical significance, its artistic merit, or simply for its beauty, this lithograph is a treasure for any collection.
