EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor print, titled "New-Holland Crane" (Watercolour 303), showcases the grace and elegance of Grus rubicunda, also known as the Brolga. Painted by the acclaimed Port Jackson Painter from the Watling Collection in the late 18th century, this illustration offers a detailed and accurate representation of this unique avian species. The Brolga is a large, long-legged bird native to Australia, with distinctive red coloration on its head and neck. The bird's long, thick, curved bill is visible in this illustration, as well as its long, slender legs and long, flowing feathers on its neck, which it uses to display during mating rituals. The anatomy of the Brolga is intricately depicted in this watercolor, revealing the delicate structure of its feathers and the subtle details of its bones and muscles. The bird's sauropsid ancestry is evident in its elongated neck and reptile-like features. As a member of the Gruiformes order, the Brolga is closely related to other wading birds such as herons and storks. However, its distinctive red coloration and elaborate mating displays set it apart from its relatives. This beautiful watercolor is a testament to the skill and artistry of the Port Jackson Painter, who captured the essence of this remarkable bird with remarkable precision and detail. It is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history illustrations and a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the natural world.
