EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print by the renowned 19th century Dutch ornithological artist, John Gerrard Keulemans, depicts a captivating group of Eudyptes robustus (Snares Penguins) and Eudyptes pachyrhynchus (Fiordland Penguins), both native to the subantarctic islands of New Zealand. Keulemans, who worked under the direction of Alfred Russel Wallace and Sir Joseph Hooker, meticulously captured the intricate details of these flightless birds, showcasing their distinctive features with remarkable accuracy. The Snares Penguin, with its robust build and long, brown head, stands proudly at the center of the composition, its beak slightly agape as if in mid-call. The Fiordland Penguin, with its larger, thicker beak and more elongated head, can be seen in the background, blending seamlessly into the rocky terrain. Keulemans' attention to anatomy is evident in the detailed rendering of their feathers, which appear both textured and lifelike. The eyes of these penguins are expressive and full of character, adding depth and personality to the illustration. This exquisite artwork, created between 1887 and 1905, is a testament to the dedication and skill of Keulemans and the importance of ornithology during the Victorian era. This print also serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the subantarctic islands and the critical role that conservation efforts play in preserving the habitats and populations of these unique and fascinating creatures. The artist, Jonathan Elphick, has expertly reproduced this original work, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Keulemans' original composition in a new light. This print is a must-have for any avian enthusiast, art collector, or those interested in the history of ornithology.
