EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Great Auk, a now-extinct bird species that roamed the earth from 1863 to 1879. Created by Raimundo Petraroja, a talented artist of his time, this color lithograph is an exquisite piece of art. The private collection in which it resides has preserved this rare gem for all to admire. The artwork was featured in "A Atlante zoologico popolare" a popular zoological atlas compiled by Giovanni Boschi. This comprehensive work incorporated the latest research and findings from both Italian and foreign zoologists during its publication period from 1863 to 1879. The illustration beautifully captures the essence of the Riesenalk or Great Auk, scientifically known as Pinguinus impennis. Its intricate details bring this magnificent creature back to life on paper. With its distinct black and white plumage and robust build, the Great Auk stands tall as an emblematic representation of avian beauty. Although no longer present in our world today, this image serves as a reminder of nature's fragility and our responsibility towards conservation efforts. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this historical masterpiece through their lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also reflect upon humanity's impact on our planet's biodiversity.
