About the Item
Title: Dacelo Gigantea
Better know as the Laughing Kookaburra, by Shaw 1825.
In eastern Australia, the raucous cackle of the Laughing Kookaburra is an essential feature of the dawn chorus. They can be heard laughing from the tip of Cape York south to Wilsons Promontory. The species’ occurrence in other parts of Australia, however, is no laughing matter. Kookaburras were widely introduced into Tasmania and Western Australia where they breed in tree hollows that would usually be used by parrots and owls, and they prey on small reptiles, mammals and nestlings, thus placing undue pressure on those creatures.
The Laughing kookaburra, Dacelo novaeguineae (Gigantic dacelo, Dacelo gigantea). from volume XIII (Aves) Part 2, of 'General Zoology or Systematic Natural History' by British naturalist George Shaw (1751-1813).
Griffith, Mrs., engraver. Heath, Charles, 1785-1848, engraver. Stephens, James Francis, 1792-1853 Published in London in 1825 by G. Kearsley

Antique Bird Print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller
Located in Langweer, NL
Original antique bird print of the Brasilian Saw-Billed Roller, Guira Guainumbi. Published by by George Edwards, circa 1760.
George Edwards FRS (3 April 1694 – 23 July 1773) was an English naturalist and ornithologist, known as the "father of British ornithology". Edwards began studying natural history, especially birds, after an unsuccessful career as a businessman, ‘applying himself to drawing and colouring such animals as fell under his notice’, including foreign specimens brought into the Port of London by ship. Edwards’ chief aim was to ‘achieve a natural and accurate portrayal’, though often from stuffed specimens; with no clear idea of suitable backgrounds he would perch smaller birds on a lichen...
