EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning artwork titled "Page 78. Eastern Curlew (w/c on paper)" by an unknown artist from the 18th century. Housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this piece is part of Volume 04: Zoology of N. Holland etc. , featuring an impressive collection of 32 watercolours depicting fish and 112 watercolours showcasing birds. The Eastern Curlew takes center stage in this composition, displaying its unique mottled and speckled brown plumage. Its most striking feature is its long, curved beak that sets it apart as a wading bird belonging to the avian family Numenius. Measuring at natural size or full-sized proportions within a folio album measuring approximately 50.3 x 39.2 cm, this artwork captures the essence of Australian fauna with remarkable detail and precision. With its rich history in natural history and ornithology, Australia serves as an ideal subject for artists seeking inspiration from its diverse wildlife. This particular painting exemplifies the beauty found within nature's creations while also providing valuable insights into zoological studies. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this masterpiece through their fine art printing techniques, allowing viewers to appreciate every brushstroke and intricate detail captured by the anonymous artist centuries ago.
