This image of the dodo is now fixed in the popular imagination. Even though it's extinct, it's an image that's as well-known as any animal alive today. Julian Hume, a research associate at the Natural History Museum and reconstructive artist, spends his days painting extinct animals and bringing them back to life. Julian, hello, may I disturb you for a second? Very nice to meet you, how you doing? Very well. Oh, sketching away, I see. Yes, I'm drawing the head of probably the most famous painting about of probably the most famous bird in the world as well. That, of course, is the dodo. See, to me, that is the quintessential image of the dodo. I'm sure, for most people, slightly goofy, a bit comedy. Julian has been looking through the museum archives and has discovered that the image of the bird we all recognise today dates back to the earliest dodo artwork.
