EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty of an unidentified New Zealand bird, dating back to 1772-75. Painted with watercolors by Admiral Isaac Smith and others during Captain Cook's second voyage, this image is a part of the Mitchell Library collection at the State Library of New South Wales. The delicate details in this ornithological illustration showcase the incredible talent and precision of Smith as he documented various species encountered on their journey. Although it remains uncertain, some speculate that this particular bird might be a small quail due to its size and features. As we delve into the world of natural history, these images provide us with valuable insights into the avian fauna found in the South Pacific region during Cook's exploration. The dimensions of this album measuring 57.5 x 39 cm further emphasize its significance as a historical artifact.
