EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor artwork depicts two iconic New Zealand birds, the Silvereye Tauhou (Zosterops lateralis lateralis) and the Bellbird Korimako (Anthornis melanura melanura). The painting is a beautiful representation of these native avian species, showcasing their unique characteristics and vibrant colors. The Silvereye Tauhou, also known as the Long-tailed Silvereye, is a small, agile bird with a distinctive silver eye-ring and a long, thin, curved bill. The male is depicted in this artwork with a greyish-brown back, olive-green underparts, and a white belly. The female, on the other hand, has a more muted coloration, with a greyish-brown back and a yellowish-olive belly. The Bellbird Korimako is a larger, more robust bird, with a distinctive bell-like call that gives it its name. The male is depicted in this artwork with a black face mask, a bright orange-red breast, and a green back and wings. The female, while less colorful, still has a striking appearance, with a greyish-brown back, a yellowish-olive belly, and a grey face mask. This artwork is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and skill of John Gerrard Keulemans, who created over 200 watercolor paintings of New Zealand birds for Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand." Keulemans was a Dutch natural history illustrator who traveled to New Zealand in the late 19th century to study and document the country's unique birdlife. His paintings remain an important record of New Zealand's avian biodiversity and continue to inspire appreciation for these remarkable species. The Silvereye Tauhou and Bellbird Korimako are just two of the many fascinating birds that call New Zealand home. These birds play important roles in their ecosystems and are cherished by the people of New Zealand for their beauty and uniqueness. This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these precious natural treasures for future generations.
