EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor triptych, created by the renowned Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans for Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," showcases three distinctive native bird species of New Zealand: the Yellowhead (Mohoua ochrocephala), Whitehead (Mohoua albicilla), and Brown Creeper (Mohoua novaeseelandiae). The Yellowhead, also known as the Yellow-crowned Mohua, is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive yellow crown and a black mask around its eyes. It is endemic to New Zealand and is characterized by its long, curved beak, which it uses to probe for insects and other invertebrates in tree bark. The Whitehead, or Rifleman, is a small, rotund bird with a distinctive white head and black body. It is named for its distinctive call, which sounds like the report of a rifle. The Whitehead is endemic to New Zealand and is found in forests and shrublands throughout the country. The Brown Creeper, or Pipipi, is a small, brown bird with a distinctive curved beak and a distinctive habit of creeping along tree trunks while foraging for insects. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found in forests and woodlands throughout the country. Keulemans' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the unique characteristics of these birds make this watercolor triptych a beautiful and important historical record of New Zealand's avian biodiversity. The birds are depicted in their natural habitats, providing a glimpse into the forests and woodlands of New Zealand in the late 19th century. This artwork is a testament to the rich natural history of New Zealand and the important role that natural history illustration plays in documenting and preserving the world's biodiversity. It is a must-see for anyone with an interest in ornithology, natural history, or the history of New Zealand.
