EDITORS COMMENTS
Unfinished Watercolour of Diomedia exulans (Wandering Albatross) by Sydney Parkinson This stunning, unfinished watercolour painting depicts the Diomedia exulans, also known as the Wandering Albatross, a magnificent avian species belonging to the Diomedeidae family within the Procellariiformes order. The Diomedia exulans is a large tubenose seabird, characterized by its long wings, which can span up to 11.5 feet, making it one of the largest flying birds in the world. The painting is an exquisite work by Sydney Parkinson, a Scottish artist and naturalist, who created this masterpiece during the late 18th century. Parkinson's illustrations were featured in the first volume of the "Voyage Round the World by Way of the Great Southern Hemisphere," published between 1773 and 1777. This particular watercolour is from plate 25 of the publication. The Wandering Albatross is a masterpiece of nature's design, with its sleek, streamlined body and elegant wings. The bird's plumage is primarily white, with black wings and a black cap on its head. The painting captures the bird's grace and beauty as it glides effortlessly through the air, showcasing its impressive wingspan. Despite its impressive size, the Wandering Albatross is an agile and skilled flyer, capable of staying aloft for extended periods, often for months at a time. They are found in the Southern Ocean and are known for their wandering habits, traveling vast distances in search of food for their young. This unfinished watercolour painting by Sydney Parkinson is a testament to the artist's skill and the natural wonder of the Diomedia exulans. Its intricate details and lifelike quality bring the Wandering Albatross to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and majesty of this remarkable bird.
