Violet lorikeet, Vini peruviana. Vulnerable. Violet-blue parrakeet, Psittacus porphyrio. Hand-coloured steel engraving by Joseph Kidd (after Frederick Nodder?) from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's "Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots," Edinburgh, 1833. The Miscellany was intended to be a multi-volume series, but was brought to an abrupt halt after only the second volume on cats when John Audubon complained about the unauthorized use of his illustrations.
