Description

Drawing depicting: Unidentified Psittacus badiceps?, The hand is far lighter than one is accustomed to see in John Gould. Perhaps coincidentally, the upper figure closely resembles that in George Edwards' engraving of 1751., Layout sketch, a little weak, colored; at head of page "Iris very dark brown / Mr Lear." The reference to "Mr. Lear" may well be to the plate of Psittacus badiceps in Lear's monograph on the Psittacidae--the coloring is slightly different from Lear's plate, the composition completely so.
