EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration depicts the kakapo (Strigops habroptilus), a flightless parrot native to New Zealand and one of the world's rarest birds. Painted by the renowned Dutch naturalist and illustrator John Gerrard Keulemans between 1887 and 1905, this artwork was originally published in Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand," a seminal work in the field of ornithology. The kakapo is easily recognizable with its mottled green and yellow plumage, long, curved beak, and distinctive, round body. The bird is shown in a naturalistic setting, perched on the ground with its beak slightly open, as if in a moment of contemplation. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the illustration showcase Keulemans' exceptional talent and dedication to capturing the beauty and uniqueness of this remarkable bird. The kakapo, which was once widespread throughout New Zealand, became critically endangered due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species. Conservation efforts have helped to increase the population, and today there are around 200 individuals surviving in the wild. This beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the unique creatures that inhabit it. The artwork is a testament to the rich history of ornithology in the nineteenth century, a time when naturalists and illustrators like Buller and Keulemans made significant strides in documenting and understanding the avian species of Australasia. This image of the kakapo continues to inspire appreciation for the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species.
