EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting depicts the North Island Brown Kiwi (Apteryx mantelli), a unique and iconic bird species endemic to New Zealand. Painted by the renowned Dutch natural history illustrator JG Keulemans for Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," this artwork was created in 1888. The North Island Brown Kiwi is a flightless bird belonging to the Apterygidae family, order Apterygiformes, and class Aves. It is one of two kiwi species found in New Zealand, the other being the South Island Brown Kiwi (Apteryx australis). The North Island Brown Kiwi is native to the North Island and some parts of the South Island. This bird is characterized by its distinctive appearance, with its long, downward-curving beak, brown feathers, and small, round wings. The North Island Brown Kiwi is also known for its cryptic coloration, which helps it blend in with its forest floor habitat. This bird is a nocturnal and terrestrial species, spending most of its time foraging for food on the forest floor. The North Island Brown Kiwi was once abundant throughout New Zealand, but its population has declined significantly due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and human disturbance. Today, conservation efforts are underway to protect and increase the population of this precious bird species. This beautiful watercolor painting not only showcases the North Island Brown Kiwi's unique features but also provides a glimpse into the rich natural history of New Zealand. It is a testament to the skill and dedication of JG Keulemans and Sir Walter Lawry Buller in documenting the country's avian diversity during the late 19th century.
