EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Moth-Plumaged Podargus, 1891" transports us back to the late 19th century, when naturalists like Gracius Broinowski dedicated their lives to documenting the diverse wildlife of Australia. The colour lithograph showcases Broinowski's exceptional talent as both a publisher and engraver. The image features a stunning illustration of the Moth-Plumaged Podargus, also known as the Papuan Frogmouth or Papuan Podargus. This unique bird species is beautifully depicted with its intricate plumage resembling that of a moth, hence its name. Its large eyes and wide beak add to its mysterious allure. Broinowski's meticulous attention to detail brings this avian creature to life on paper. Every feather seems delicately rendered, capturing not only its physical appearance but also conveying a sense of grace and elegance. This particular print is part of a private collection and was published in "The Birds of Australia" in 1891. It serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing Australia's rich biodiversity during that era. Whether you are an avid bird enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, this exquisite lithograph will surely captivate your imagination and transport you into the enchanting world of Australian fauna.
