EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "F. 32 Hawk. New Caledonia (Sept. 1774)", showcases the remarkable artistic talent of Admiral Isaac Smith and others during Captain Cook's second voyage in 1772-75. Preserved at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this image forms part of a collection depicting South Sea birds encountered during Cook's explorations. Measuring an impressive 57.5 x 39 cm, this ornithological masterpiece offers a glimpse into the diverse fauna found in the South Pacific region. The detailed zoological illustration captures the essence of this bird species belonging to the accipitridae family – a majestic bird of prey known for its raptor abilities. The hawk is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, showcasing its natural prowess and commanding presence within its habitat in New Caledonia. The artist's skillful use of watercolors brings life to every feather and contour, making it an invaluable piece for those interested in avian studies or natural history. As we admire this painting from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its scientific significance as an important record from one of history's most renowned voyages of exploration.
