Princess of Wales’ Parakeets — J. G. Smith
Princess of Wales’ Parakeets presents two elegant parakeets arranged among slender branches and leaves, their exceptionally long tails creating a sweeping vertical composition. One bird occupies the foreground while a second appears above with partially raised wings, introducing a subtle sense of movement.
Green plumage is balanced by rosy pink, blue-green, red, olive, and warm neutral tones against a softly aged cream ground. The original plate identifies the birds as the Princess of Wales’ Parrakeet, Polytelis alexandrae, and notes that the illustration was produced from living specimens in the possession of Mr. H. J. Fulljames.
