EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork depicts a pair of Pukeko (Porphyrio melanotus melanotus), the native waterfowl of New Zealand, as illustrated by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist, John Gerrard Keulemans, for Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand" published in 1888. The Pukeko, also known as the New Zealand Swamphen, is a distinctive bird with its glossy green and purple plumage, long legs, and distinctive red eyes. The image on the left showcases a partial albino Pukeko, a rare variation of this species. Albino Pukeko are incredibly rare, with only a few recorded cases throughout New Zealand's history. The lack of pigmentation in their feathers results in a mostly white appearance, making them stand out from their more commonly encountered darker counterparts. Keulemans' masterful watercolor painting captures the intricate details of the Pukeko's plumage, from the iridescent sheen on their feathers to the delicate textures of their legs and feet. The artist's keen observation skills and exceptional talent are evident in the lifelike representation of these birds in their natural habitat. The Pukeko is an essential part of New Zealand's avian diversity, with a wide distribution across the country. They are adaptable birds that can be found in various habitats, from wetlands to grasslands, and even in suburban areas. The Pukeko's diet consists mainly of aquatic plants, insects, and invertebrates, making them an essential link in the food chain of New Zealand's wetland ecosystems. This stunning artwork serves as a testament to the rich natural history of New Zealand and the remarkable talent of John Gerrard Keulemans, who dedicated his career to documenting the country's unique biodiversity.
