EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting depicts a juvenile Cream-coloured Courser (Cursorius cursor), a small wading bird belonging to the Charadriiformes order and the Glareolidae family. The painting is the work of Ann Latham (1772-after 1837), an accomplished British artist known for her detailed and accurate illustrations of birds and other natural subjects. The Cream-coloured Courser, also referred to as the Sauropsida Courser or the Courvite, is a vertebrate species native to the arid regions of Africa. The juvenile bird in the painting is shown with its distinctive feathered crest, which is less pronounced in adults. The Cream-coloured Courser is characterized by its long, slender legs, which it uses to wade in shallow water and hunt for insects and other small prey. The bird's creamy-colored plumage provides excellent camouflage in the sandy habitats it inhabits. Ann Latham's painting is a testament to her skill as a naturalist artist, capturing the delicate details of the bird's feathers and the subtle shading of its colors. The painting is held in the Library and Archives, a testament to the historical significance of Latham's work in the field of zoology. Latham's work was influential in the scientific community, contributing to the growing body of knowledge about the natural world during the 19th century. Her meticulous illustrations of birds and other animals helped advance our understanding of the diversity and complexity of the natural world, and continue to be appreciated for their beauty and accuracy today.
