EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing piece of art titled "Page 27. Unidentified fish (w/c on paper)" by an unknown artist from the 18th century. Housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales, this drawing is part of a larger collection called Volume 04: Zoology of N. [New] Holland etc. , which includes 32 watercolours of fish and 112 watercolours of birds. The artwork depicts a side view of an unidentified fish, rendered with remarkable detail and precision using watercolors on paper. Measuring approximately two-thirds smaller than the actual size of the fish it was based on, this painting offers a glimpse into Australia's rich marine fauna. The artist's skillful technique brings out the intricate features and unique characteristics of this mysterious creature. With its elongated body resembling that of a swordfish, viewers are left to wonder about its origins and species classification. Watermarked with J Whatman, this folio album-sized artwork measures 50.3 x 39.2 cm and serves as a valuable contribution to natural history studies in Australia. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historical masterpiece through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and its significance within zoological exploration during that era.
