EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite 18th-century watercolor painting titled "Page 85. Sooty Tern. Sterna novae Hollandae. New Holland Tern" by an unknown artist. Housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this artwork is part of a larger volume dedicated to the zoology of New Holland (now Australia). The painting depicts a Sooty Tern, scientifically known as Sterna novae Hollandae or the New Holland Tern, with meticulous detail and vibrant colors. The bird's sleek brown feathers are beautifully rendered against a backdrop of shimmering blue waters. Measuring at an impressive folio album size of 50.3 x 39.2 cm, this watercolor captures the natural size and essence of this marine bird native to Australia's coastal regions. The artist skillfully portrays the avian subject in its natural habitat, showcasing their expertise in ornithological illustration and capturing the intricate details that make these creatures so fascinating. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into both Australia's rich fauna diversity and the artistry prevalent during the 18th century. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable work from Fine Art Finder without any copyright restrictions or limitations on non-commercial use.
