EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork titled "Page 78. Caprimulgus" by an unknown artist from the 18th century. The painting, displayed at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales, is part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, created between 1791-92. The focal point of this artwork is a Tawny Frogmouth Podargus strigoides, depicted at lower center and presented in half its natural size. The intricate watercolor technique used by the artist brings out the bird's speckled plumage and delicate features. The sketches within this collection are accompanied by additional notes indicating when each bird was sighted and its respective size. This attention to detail adds depth to these ornithological illustrations, making them valuable resources for zoologists and researchers studying Australian fauna. The perched position of the Tawny Frogmouth on a branch further emphasizes its natural habitat while providing viewers with a glimpse into avian behavior. This piece not only serves as an exquisite example of zoological illustration but also highlights the beauty found within Australia's diverse wildlife. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this masterpiece through their high-quality print reproduction. As we admire this work, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the artistic skill employed by the anonymous painter and our fascination with nature's wonders.
