EDITORS COMMENTS
This unfinished watercolor painting, titled "Arripis trutta," or the Australian Salmon, is an intriguing glimpse into the natural history discoveries made during Captain James Cook's first voyage to explore the southern continent from 1768 to 1771. The painting was created by Sydney Parkinson, an accomplished artist and naturalist who accompanied Cook on his expedition. The Australian Salmon, also known as the Eastern Australian Salmon or Kahawai, is a sleek and vibrant fish native to the waters of Australia and New Zealand. With its distinctive forked tail and colorful scales, this bony fish is a member of the Actinopterygii, or ray-finned fish, and the Perciformes, or perch-like fish order. The painting accurately depicts the fish's elongated body and prominent dorsal fin, which are characteristic of the Perciformes. The Australian Salmon was an important food source for the crew of the HMS Endeavour during their exploration of the Australian coastline. Cook and his men were the first Europeans to encounter this fish, and their discovery added to the growing body of knowledge about the unique flora and fauna of the southern continent. This watercolor painting is a testament to the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the 18th century. Sydney Parkinson's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the Australian Salmon in his art make this an invaluable historical document. The painting remains an enduring reminder of the remarkable discoveries made during Cook's groundbreaking voyage and the rich natural heritage of the southern continent.
