EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor drawing, titled Number 57, is a captivating representation of the Laughing Kookaburra (Dacelo novaeguineae) created by the skilled hand of George Raper in the late 18th century. The Australian native bird, a member of the kingfisher family (Alcedinidae) and the order Coraciiformes, is depicted with remarkable detail and accuracy, showcasing its distinctive features. The Laughing Kookaburra is depicted perched on a branch, its cream-colored underparts contrasting with the rich brown of its upperparts. Its large, expressive head turns towards the viewer, revealing the distinctive, cheek pouchless face, and its beak open in what appears to be a laugh. The bird's anatomical features are rendered with precision, from the intricately detailed feathers to the delicate veins on its wings. Surrounding the bird are several flowering plants, likely angiosperms native to Australasia. The artist's keen observation and attention to detail extend beyond the bird, making this illustration a valuable record of both the avian and botanical worlds of the time. George Raper, an accomplished ornithologist and artist, created this illustration during the period of 1768 to 1797, a time when the scientific exploration of the natural world was at its height. The Raper Collection, which includes this drawing, is a testament to the importance of natural history in the 18th century and the role of art in documenting and preserving the wonders of the natural world.
