EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting, titled "The Southern Aaviary at London Zoo," captures the vibrant and diverse collection of birds housed within the enclosure during the late 19th century. Painted by the skilled hand of Charles Howard, the artwork showcases a variety of southern birds, including a White Stork, Gannet, Mandarin Drake, Brown Pelicans, Black-winged Kite, Egyptian Kite, Goliath Heron, and Comorants. The White Stork stands proudly in the foreground, its distinctive curved bill and white plumage contrasting against the lush greenery of the aviary. In the background, a Gannet spreads its wings, displaying the distinctive black and white markings that make this seabird so easily recognizable. A Mandarin Drake, with its bright red plumage and extravagant head feathers, adds a splash of color among the predominantly gray and brown feathers of the other birds. Brown Pelicans are depicted in various poses, some perched on branches and others in flight, while Black-winged Kites and Egyptian Kites soar above the scene, their sharp eyes scanning the ground below for prey. A Goliath Heron stands tall and imposing, its long, powerful legs poised for a strike. Comorants, with their distinctive black and white plumage, are seen both in flight and in the water, where they dive to catch fish. This beautiful watercolor painting offers a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the southern aviary at London Zoo during a time when such sights were still relatively new and exciting for the public. Charles Howard's skillful brushwork and attention to detail bring these birds to life, making this a true masterpiece for any nature or avian enthusiast's collection.
