EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor artwork depicts the Mottled Petrel, also known as the Korure, and the Bullers Shearwater, two remarkable seabird species native to New Zealand. The illustration is taken from Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," Volume 3, Plate 42, published in 1888. The artwork was expertly created by the renowned Dutch natural history illustrator, John Gerrard Keulemans. The Mottled Petrel, scientifically known as Pterodroma inexpectata, is a medium-sized seabird with a mottled brown plumage, distinctive white underwings, and a long, pointed wingspan. They are characterized by their tubenose bill and their ability to fly long distances over the open ocean. The Bullers Shearwater, Puffinus bulleri, is another fascinating seabird species found in New Zealand waters. They have a white underbelly, a dark back, and a wingspan of up to 1.2 meters. They are named for Sir Walter Lawry Buller, a prominent naturalist and collector of New Zealand birds. Both the Mottled Petrel and Bullers Shearwater are members of the Procellariiformes order, which includes tubenose seabirds, and the Procellariidae family. They are important components of New Zealand's avian biodiversity and play a crucial role in the marine ecosystem. This exquisite watercolor painting by Keulemans not only showcases the beauty of these birds but also serves as a valuable historical record of New Zealand's natural heritage. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Mottled Petrel and Bullers Shearwater to life, making this artwork a must-have for any avian enthusiast or collector of natural history illustrations.
