"Ke-ke, from 'Drawings of Birds from Malacca', c.1805-18" is a notable work attributed to an anonymous artist, which forms part of a collection of ornithological illustrations originating from the early 19th century. The collection, which focuses on the avian life in and around the region of Malacca, then part of the British Empire, provides a valuable historical record of the biodiversity present during the period. The illustration of the "Ke-ke" bird is particularly significant for its detailed depiction of a species native to the Malay Peninsula, offering insights into the natural history and artistic conventions of the time.

The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the use of watercolor, a popular medium for natural history illustrations of that era. The precise date of creation is uncertain, with estimates ranging between 1805 and 1818, a time when Malacca was an important trading port and a hub for cultural and scientific exchange. The anonymity of the artist adds an element of mystery to the work, although it is likely that the creator was part of the milieu of naturalists and artists who documented flora and fauna for scientific and educational purposes.

"Ke-ke, from 'Drawings of Birds from Malacca'" not only serves as an artistic artifact but also contributes to the understanding of the region's ecological past.
