EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, depicting an F. 30 New Zealand bird that resembles the friendly and familiar robin. Created between 1772-75 by the talented Admiral Isaac Smith and his contemporaries during Captain Cook's voyages, this watercolor painting is housed in the prestigious Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales. Part of a collection documenting South Sea birds encountered on Cook's second voyage, these illustrations offer invaluable insights into avian species from that era. Measuring 57.5 x 39 cm, this album captures not only the beauty but also the scientific significance of these creatures. The unidentified bird featured in this image stands out against a dark background with its striking black and grey plumage. Perched gracefully on a branch, it exudes an air of tranquility and curiosity. As we delve into natural history through ornithology and zoological illustration, this artwork serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific exploration. It reminds us of our connection to nature's wonders while shedding light on lesser-known species from the South Pacific region. With its rich historical context and aesthetic appeal, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the diverse fauna that once roamed freely across New Zealand's landscapes centuries ago.
