1. Title: A Striking Portrait of a Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea), Collected in Northern Territory, Australia, by RA Bankier in 1840 This photograph print showcases a Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea), an elegant and distinctive bird native to the Australasian region. The specimen, collected on the 14th of December 1840, in Port Essington, Northern Territory, Australia, is a remarkable addition to the Gould Collection. The image captures the bird in a frontal view against a pristine white background, providing a clear and unobstructed view of its unique features. The Little Corella, also known as the Short-billed Corella or the Blood-stained Cockatoo, is a member of the Cacatuidae family, which belongs to the order Psittaciformes. This bird is easily recognizable by its pink-tinged feathers, bare, red eyes, and short, curved beak. The species is characterized by its blue eye rings, which contrast sharply with its pink plumage. RA Bankier, the collector, was an influential figure in the field of ornithology during the 19th century. His dedication to documenting and preserving the natural world led him to collect this remarkable specimen. The label on the print, bearing the date and location of collection, attests to the historical significance of this photograph. The image presents a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of Australia during the Victorian era. The Little Corella, with its striking appearance and unique characteristics, continues to captivate audiences and inspire curiosity about the natural world. This studio shot, with its meticulous attention to detail and pristine white background, offers a timeless and captivating representation of this remarkable bird species.
