EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 99. Phaeton. in different hand A young Tropic Bird 1 / 2 of the natural size Red" showcases a stunning artwork by an unknown artist from the 18th century. The piece, housed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, is part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, created between 1791-92. The painting depicts a Red-Tailed Tropicbird (Phaethon rubricauda) in exquisite detail and vibrant colors. The bird's half-sized representation allows for intricate observation and appreciation of its features. With its mouth open wide, this avian beauty appears to be caught mid-call or perhaps preparing to take flight. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this Australian fauna with dappled and speckled brushstrokes that bring out the bird's natural patterns and textures. This zoological illustration serves as a valuable contribution to ornithology and provides insight into Australia's rich biodiversity. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can admire this remarkable piece today. It reminds us of the importance of documenting our natural history through artistry and scientific exploration. Whether you are an avid bird enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, this print offers a glimpse into both worlds - merging aesthetics with knowledge about our feathered friends.
