EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor artwork by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans depicts both a young and adult New Zealand Merganser (Mergus australis) from Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand." The New Zealand Merganser, also known as the Sawbill or Buller's Merganser, is a unique and endemic waterfowl species native to New Zealand. The adult Merganser in this illustration is easily identified by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a glossy green head and a long, serrated bill. The young Merganser, on the other hand, displays a speckled brown body and a shorter, duller bill. Both species have webbed feet and are excellent swimmers, often found in freshwater lakes and rivers. The New Zealand Merganser was first described by Buller in 1873 and was named after him in recognition of his significant contributions to the study of New Zealand's avian fauna. Keulemans' meticulous attention to detail and lifelike representation of the Merganser's features make this illustration an invaluable addition to any collection of New Zealand's natural history. This artwork is a testament to the rich biodiversity of New Zealand and the important role that natural history illustration played in documenting and preserving the country's unique wildlife. The New Zealand Merganser remains an iconic species and an important part of New Zealand's natural heritage.
