This studio shot features a beautifully preserved Mangrove Robin (Eopsaltria leucura), collected by the renowned Australian naturalist, John Gilbert, in East Bay, Port Essington, Northern Territory, Australia. The image showcases the bird in a front view against a pristine white background, providing a clear and unobstructed view of its intricate features. 3. Background: John Gilbert (1838-1911), an accomplished ornithologist, explored and documented the diverse avian life of Australia during the late 19th century. This Mangrove Robin specimen was likely collected during one of his many expeditions to the Northern Territory, an area rich in unique and exotic bird species. 4. Description: The Mangrove Robin, also known as the White-breasted Robin or the White-breasted Mangrove Bird, is a passerine bird belonging to the Petroicidae family. It is native to the mangrove forests and tidal mudflats along the northern and eastern coasts of Australia. The bird is characterized by its distinctive white underparts, black upperparts, and orange-red eyes. 5. Label and Provenance: The label on the bottom of the print reads "Eopsaltria leucura, East Bay, Port Essington, N.T., Australia, J. Gilbert Coll." This label attests to the authenticity and historical significance of the specimen, making it a valuable addition to any ornithological collection. 6. Historical Significance: This Mangrove Robin specimen, collected by John Gilbert, is an essential piece of Australia's natural history. It provides a tangible connection to the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich biodiversity that existed during the late 1800s and the remarkable work of early naturalists who dedicated their lives to documenting it.
