EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Palawan peacock-pheasant, a stunning bird known for its vibrant plumage and regal appearance. The Polyplectron napoleonis, as it is scientifically called, stands out with its intricate patterns and striking colors. This particular image was captured by the talented artist William Home Lizars (1788-1859) and has been beautifully handcoloured. The Palawan peacock-pheasant is classified as vulnerable due to habitat loss and hunting. Its existence in the wild is threatened, making this print all the more precious. Alongside this magnificent species, another bird featured in this illustration is the crested polyplectron or Polyplectron emphanum. William Lizars' copperplate engraving skillfully brings these birds to life on paper. The level of detail in his work highlights every feather and contour of their bodies, allowing us to appreciate their beauty up close. This artwork comes from Sir William Jardine's renowned publication "The Natural History of Gallinaceous Birds" within his esteemed collection called "Naturalists Library: Ornithology". Published in Edinburgh in 1834, Jardine's work aimed to document various bird species for scientific study and appreciation. As we admire this remarkable illustration by Lizars, let us remember the importance of preserving these extraordinary creatures for future generations to marvel at their splendor.
