EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts the enigmatic Pied Currawong, Strepera graculina, also known as the Noisy Crow or Corvus strepera. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the skilled hand of Richard Polydore Nodder, and published as part of the Zoological Miscellany, edited by the renowned naturalist William Elford Leach, in 1815. The Pied Currawong is a native bird species found primarily in Australia, and is characterized by its distinctive black and white plumage, with a white face and underparts contrasting sharply with its black back, wings, and tail. This striking appearance, combined with its distinctive call, has earned it the common name 'Noisy Crow'. The Currawong is a versatile bird, adaptable to a wide range of habitats, from forests and woodlands to grasslands and urban areas. It is an omnivorous species, feeding on a diet that includes insects, reptiles, amphibians, fruit, and seeds. This beautiful engraving not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of Richard Polydore Nodder and the scientific acumen of William Elford Leach, but also provides a valuable record of the natural history of the Pied Currawong in the early 19th century. The intricate details of the bird's plumage, beak, and other features are rendered with remarkable accuracy, making this a prized addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations.
