EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print, titled "Page 24. Fuliginous Peteril. Now known as a White-chinned Petrel" is a remarkable piece of art created by Sarah Stone in the late 18th century. Housed at the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this artwork is part of an album featuring 31 original watercolors showcasing Australian fauna. The painting depicts a stunning white-chinned petrel, formerly referred to as the fuliginous peteril. The artist's attention to detail and skillful use of watercolors bring this seabird to life on paper. With its black plumage contrasting against the vibrant blue background, every feather seems meticulously rendered. As we gaze upon this zoological illustration, we are drawn to the bird's yellow bill and webbed feet—a testament to its aquatic nature. The white-chinned petrel stands gracefully with its wings slightly extended, capturing a moment frozen in time. Sarah Stone's work not only captures the beauty of Australia's avian species but also serves as an invaluable record for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts alike. This particular artwork provides insight into early scientific exploration and documentation during that era. With dimensions measuring approximately 33.8 x 25.1 cm, this delicate piece showcases Stone's talent within frame lines roughly equivalent to plate size engravings commonly seen during that period. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can appreciate and explore this exquisite representation of Australian fauna from centuries past
