EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "F. 10 King fisher. Friendly Islands, 1772-75" takes us back in time to the South Sea adventures of Captain Cook's voyages. The artwork, created by Admiral Isaac Smith and others during Cook's second voyage, showcases the stunning beauty of a kingfisher bird found in the Friendly Islands. The vibrant watercolor painting captures the essence of this magnificent creature with its bright plumage and intricate details. Perched on a branch against a picturesque landscape, the kingfisher exudes grace and elegance as it gazes into the distance. The composition not only highlights the bird but also incorporates elements from its natural habitat. A crab scurries along beneath the perch, adding an element of realism to this ornithological illustration. Measuring 57.5 x 39 cm, this album is part of Mitchell Library's collection at State Library of New South Wales. It serves as a valuable resource for those interested in exploring avian fauna and natural history from Captain Cook's expeditions. Through this photo print, we are transported to Tonga in the late 18th century when these islands were known as Friendly Islands. It offers us a glimpse into both scientific exploration and artistic expression during that era. With its rich historical significance and aesthetic appeal, this image stands as a testament to our fascination with nature's wonders and our desire to document them for generations to come.
