EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the F. 27 Wood pigeon, a native bird species of New Zealand, as depicted by renowned artist Isaac Smith during Captain Cook's voyages in 1772-75. The painting is part of a collection housed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. Smith's intricate watercolor technique beautifully captures the essence of this majestic bird, known locally as kereru or columbidae. Perched on a branch against a vibrant backdrop, the wood pigeon exudes an air of tranquility and grace. The image forms part of an extensive series documenting various avian species encountered during Captain Cook's second voyage. These illustrations were created by Admiral Isaac Smith and other talented artists who accompanied Cook on his explorations through the South Pacific. Measuring 57.5 x 39 cm, this album provides valuable insights into the natural history and zoology of these remote regions. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and scientific record for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike.
