EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Admiral Isaac Smith and others, documenting the avian wonders encountered during Captain Cook's second voyage. Entitled "F. 12 Dove. New Caledonia, 1772-75" this watercolor painting captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us to the South Pacific region. The delicate brushstrokes bring to life a beautiful dove perched on a branch, its plumage displaying an array of soft colors that blend harmoniously with its surroundings. The attention to detail is remarkable, revealing the artists' keen eye for ornithology and their dedication to capturing nature's intricate beauty. Measuring 57.5 x 39 cm, this album-sized masterpiece offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the natural history of New Caledonia during the late 18th century. Preserved within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, it serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression. As we admire this zoological illustration, we are reminded of our planet's rich biodiversity and how crucial it is to protect these fragile ecosystems for future generations. This image not only celebrates avian fauna but also invites us to reflect on our interconnectedness with nature.
