About this plate
La grande Perruche a Collier is plate 30 of Histoire naturelle des Perroquets by François Levaillant (1801–1805). Today the species is known as the Alexandrine Parakeet. This facsimile is made from the copy in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem, and printed at the size of the original sheet, 13¼ × 20¼ in (33.5 × 51.5 cm).
About the original
François Levaillant (1753-1824), the French naturalist and traveller born in Paramaribo, published Histoire naturelle des perroquets between 1801 and 1805: two volumes with 145 stipple engravings after paintings by Jacques Barraband (1767-1809), printed in colour and finished by hand.
Barraband rendered each feather in fine parallel lines, and some plates were heightened with touches of gold on the cheeks and shoulders to suggest the sheen of the plumage.
