Production notes
Penny Olsen has commented on this print:
'I've looked into the 'Green Parrot of Botany Bay', attributed to Sydenham Edwards, and I think it is actually by George Edwards (1694-1773), from or based on "Great Green Parrot from the West Indies' p. 162 in 'Natural History of Uncommon Birds', Vol. IV (1751), which, of course, isn't from Australia. Its an unidentified species of Amazona.' [Penny Olsen to Roger Butler].
