EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print showcases the intricate details of the Buller's Albatross (Thalassarche bulleri), also known as Salvini's Albatross, depicted in exquisite detail by the renowned nineteenth-century Dutch natural history illustrator, John Gerrard Keulemans. The Buller's Albatross is a large seabird belonging to the Diomedeidae family, order Procellariiformes, and is named after the New Zealand naturalist, Oldham Buller. Keulemans, who worked under the direction of Alfred Russel Wallace and Alfred Brehm, captured the essence of this magnificent bird with remarkable accuracy and artistry. The Buller's Albatross is depicted with its long, curved beak open slightly, revealing the intricacies of its anatomy. The bird's head is turned towards its back, giving a glimpse of the fine plumage on its nape and neck. The artist's mastery of watercolor technique is evident in the way the feathers are rendered, with their varied textures and shading creating a lifelike effect. This illustration was produced during the height of the Age of Discovery, a time when the world was being explored and documented in great detail. The natural history illustrations of the nineteenth century, such as this one, played a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge and understanding of the natural world. The Buller's Albatross is a pelagic bird, spending most of its life at sea, only returning to land to breed. It is found in the Southern Ocean, and its population is estimated to be around 10,000 individuals. The conservation status of this species is considered to be near threatened, and efforts are being made to protect their breeding colonies and mitigate the impact of fishing activities on their populations.
