EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning watercolor painting titled "Page 75. Dacelo". The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, is part of the Mitchell Library's collection at the State Library of New South Wales. The painting depicts a Laughing Jackass, scientifically known as Dacelo gigas, with its mouth wide open in mid-call. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this Australian bird to life on paper. Along the lower edge of the print, you can see handwritten notes indicating its natural size. What makes this illustration particularly interesting is how it highlights the unique toe structure of the Laughing Jackass. The outer and middle toes are connected to the second joint, while the middle and inner toes are connected to the first joint. This piece belongs to Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia dating back to 1791-92. Each sketch within this collection includes additional information about when and where each bird was sighted along with their respective sizes. With its ornithological significance and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork serves as a valuable resource for zoologists and bird enthusiasts alike. Its presence in Fine Art Finder allows us all to appreciate nature's beauty through artistry while preserving historical knowledge for generations to come.
