This hand-colored lithograph is from Lionel Walter Rothschild's The Avifauna of Laysan and the Neighbouring Islands: with a Complete History to Date of the Birds of the Hawaiian Possessions. The work was published in London by Taylor & Francis for R.H. Porter between 1893 and 1900. All of the plates were by and after the work of J. G. Keulemans & F. W. Frohawk.
The work was a landmarks study on the birds of the Hawaiian Islands with only 250 copies published. It was one of the first illustrated accounts of Hawaiian birds, which featured some now extinct birds. The work was based on the collecting of Henry Palmer. Palmer procured all the known land-birds and most of the sea-birds on Laysan including fifteen species new to the scientific world.
