EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph, titled "Turquoise Berry and Allies," is an enchanting illustration from the book "Tasmanian Friends and Foes, Feathered, Furred and Finned" by the renowned Australian artist and naturalist, Louisa Anne Meredith. Published in London by Marcus Ward in 1881, this ornithological, ichthyological, and entomological masterpiece showcases a vibrant array of Tasmanian flora and fauna. At the center of the illustration, we find the Turquoise Berry, scientifically known as Aristotelia peduncularis, a small shrub bearing striking blue-green berries. Surrounding it are various birds, including an Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) with its young, and a female Sassafras or Tortoiseshell Butterfly (Liphyra brassolis) perched on a branch. The intricately detailed illustration also features a Red, White & Black Aristotelia peduncularis, as well as a Brown or Cinnamon Moth (species unknown), adding to the rich tapestry of Tasmanian biodiversity. Louisa Anne Meredith, an accomplished artist and scientist, meticulously captured the essence of these subjects, providing an invaluable record of Tasmanian wildlife for future generations. Her groundbreaking work in the fields of ornithology, ichthyology, and entomology continues to inspire and educate us today, showcasing the beauty and importance of the natural world.
