Description

1894 A plate showing the display of the Superb Bird of Paradise (Lophorina superba) by Richard Bowdler Sharpe from his Wonders of the Bird World" 1898. Chromolithograph from Brockhaus' Konversations-lexikon. The Superb Bird of Paradise actually produces the famous (and more remarkable) "smiley bird" transformation into an oval disc seen in BBC Planet Earth. These birds were well known from dead specimens in museums and the Milinary trade, but artists had to guess behaviour. It would not be until the latter half of the next century that they were actually observed and described displaying in the wild."
