EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 7. Barita. following title in different hand 1/2 the natural size" showcases an exquisite artwork from the 18th century. Created by an unknown artist, this watercolor painting depicts a Black-Backed Magpie Gymnorhina tibicen, dating back to 1791-92. Housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this piece belongs to Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia. Each sketch within this collection is meticulously labeled with additional notes indicating the month when each bird was sighted and its size. The Black-Backed Magpie featured in this painting stands out not only for its striking appearance but also for its unique vocalization. A note inscribed by a third hand describes its call as uncommon yet pleasant, adding to the allure of this avian subject. With its beak slightly open and perched gracefully on a branch, this Australian bird exudes both elegance and curiosity. The attention to detail captured by the artist highlights their keen interest in ornithology and zoological illustration during that era. Preserved for centuries, this remarkable artwork offers us a glimpse into nature's wonders while celebrating our fascination with wildlife. Bridgeman Images has beautifully reproduced it as a print so that art enthusiasts can admire and appreciate it today without any copyright restrictions or limitations on personal use.
