Notes
Content: Printed on border: "From a painting in the British Museum." "The above wood-cut, which has been carefully copied from a painting in the British Museum, represents a bird, of the existence of whose species a little more than two centuries ago there appears to be no doubt, but which is now supposed to be entirely extinct. … The painting in the British Museum was presented to that institution by the late Mr. George Edwards; and the history of it is thus given in his work on birds: -- 'The original picture from which this print of the dodo is engraved, was drawn in Holland, from the living bird, brought from St. Maurice's Island, in the East Indies, in the early times of the discovery of the Indies, by the way of the Cape of Good Hope …'"
Source note: Penny magazine. (London : Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, 1832-).
