EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration, titled "Aechmorhynchus cancellatus" or the Kiritimati Sandpiper, is a captivating work of art from the collection of sketches made during Captain James Cook's third voyage (1776-1780). Painted by the skilled hand of naturalist William Ellis, this illustration offers a glimpse into the natural wonders discovered during this groundbreaking expedition. The Kiritimati Sandpiper, also known as the Kiritimati Island Sandpiper, is a small, brown-colored wading bird native to the Pacific Ocean's central atolls, including Kiritimati (Christmas) Island. This bird is a member of the Charadriiformes order, with a distinctive long, down-curved bill and a slender body. During Cook's voyage, Ellis and his team documented various species of animals, birds, and fish they encountered, providing valuable insights into the natural world of the Pacific. This illustration of the Kiritimati Sandpiper is a testament to their meticulous observations and artistic abilities. The Felidae family, to which this sandpiper does not belong, is represented in the collection by various felines, such as the European Wildcat and the Jaguar. However, the inclusion of this sandpiper in the same collection highlights the comprehensive nature of Ellis's work and the vast array of species discovered during the expedition. This illustration, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a window into the past, transporting us to a time of adventure, discovery, and exploration. The Kiritimati Sandpiper, a seemingly ordinary bird, becomes an extraordinary subject in this beautiful work of art, a reminder of the wonders that await us in the natural world.
