| Summary | "Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidæ, or Parrots" by Edward Lear is a scientific publication that was produced in the early 19th century. This work focuses on the family of parrots, showcasing various species that had not been previously illustrated. Edwards Lear, known for his contributions to natural history and art, presents this detailed compilation of lithographic plates based on drawings from life, emphasizing the diversity and beauty of these birds. The book comprises forty-two lithographic plates, each depicting different species of parrots in vivid detail. Lear's work not only serves as an artistic representation but also strives to provide valuable information about each species’ characteristics. The illustrations include a wide variety of parrots, from familiar species like the Blue and Yellow Macaw to lesser-known ones like the Abyssinian Parrakeet. The dedication to Her Majesty the Queen highlights its significance during the time, while the informative captions enrich the understanding of these avian wonders, making it an important contribution to ornithology and art alike.
