This print captures the beauty and diversity of Australian bird species. Titled "Page 71.1,2. Meliphaga. 3. ? at lower centre in different hand Natural size" this artwork showcases three stunning birds in intricate detail. The first bird depicted is the White-Naped Honeyeater (Melithreptus lunatus), with its striking white nape contrasting against its dark plumage. Next, we see the Yellow Robin (Eopsaltria australis), adorned in vibrant yellow feathers that brighten up any landscape it inhabits. Lastly, the Eastern Spinebill (Acanathorhynchus tenuirostris) graces the composition with its slender beak and elegant posture. Created by an unknown artist during the late 18th century, this watercolor painting is part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, dating back to 1791-92. Each sketch on page 71 is meticulously labeled with added notes indicating when each bird was sighted and their respective sizes. Housed within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this artwork serves as a valuable resource for ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike. The level of detail captured in these illustrations allows us to appreciate not only the physical characteristics but also observe natural behaviors such as perching and catching prey with protruding tongues. Through this image, we are reminded of Australia's rich avian fauna and its
