"Double plumed Moho (Moho nobilis)" is a notable illustration by William Ellis, an English missionary and artist who was active in the early 19th century. The artwork is a depiction of the now-extinct Moho nobilis, commonly known as the noble Moho or Hawaiian O'o, which was a bird species native to Hawaii. Ellis's illustration is significant as it provides a visual record of the species, which was known for its striking black plumage and distinctive yellow tufts of feathers, or "plumes," that were highly prized for use in traditional Hawaiian regalia.

William Ellis traveled to the Hawaiian Islands as part of his missionary work and documented his observations of the local flora, fauna, and culture through detailed sketches and writings. His illustrations, including the "Double plumed Moho (Moho nobilis)," are valuable historical documents that contribute to the understanding of Hawaii's natural history and the impact of human activity on its endemic species. The noble Moho was last observed in the wild in the 1930s, and its extinction is attributed to factors such as habitat destruction, hunting for feathers, and the introduction of non-native species.

The illustration by Ellis not only serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of island ecosystems but also highlights the intersection of art, science, and cultural history. It is an important work within the canon of natural history illustration and remains a subject of interest for ornithologists, conservationists, and art historians alike.
