EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the F. 46 Shag of New Zealand, a species known for making their nests in trees. Created between 1772 and 1775 by Isaac Smith, an esteemed admiral and artist, this watercolor painting is part of a collection housed at the Mitchell Library in the State Library of New South Wales. The image belongs to a series called "South Sea birds" which documents various avian species spotted during Captain Cook's second voyage. Measuring 57.5 x 39 cm, this album provides an exquisite glimpse into the natural history of the South Pacific region. Intriguingly captured with meticulous detail, this ornithological illustration reveals the unique characteristics of these aquatic birds. With webbed feet enabling them to swim effortlessly through water bodies, these cormorants showcase their elegant black and white plumage. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, it serves as a reminder of both nature's beauty and humanity's enduring fascination with our feathered friends. This particular artwork offers insight into early explorations and scientific observations made during Captain Cook's voyages. With its historical significance and artistic excellence combined, this print invites us to appreciate not only the intricate details but also the rich cultural heritage preserved within each stroke of Admiral Isaac Smith's brush.
