We at Panteek are pleased to offer the complete set of Jardine
Parrots. The Naturalist's Library was the first successful
attempt to make natural history accessible to the
general public. The noted Scottish ornithologist
Sir William Jardine set out to describe and illustrate
all animals, birds and insects through this series. For
the volume of parrots, the sixth volume of the series,
Jardine turned to illustrator Edward Lear. Lear's
earlier book of parrot illustrations had been well
received and compared favorably to Audubon.
Engraver William H. Lizars wanted to make the plates as
showy as possible to attract attention, and created the
engraving plates in steel - not the traditional copper -
to create a very fine line on the small area (each page
measures approximately 4 1/8" by 6 1/2"). Each
animal was then hand-colored before publication. The
volume of parrots was the sixth in his landmark series.
