EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Page 77. Hirundo" showcases the exquisite artwork of an unknown artist from the 18th century. The image, housed in the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, is part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, created between 1791-92. The painting depicts a beautiful Welcome Swallow (Hirundo neoxena), commonly known as The Swallow or Martin of N. S. Wales. With meticulous detail and vibrant watercolors, the artist captures this avian species in its natural size and habitat. Each sketch within this collection is accompanied by handwritten notes indicating the month when each bird was sighted and its respective size. This attention to detail adds an extra layer of authenticity to these ornithological illustrations. As we gaze upon this stunning piece, we are transported back in time to witness not only a work of art but also a valuable contribution to zoology and natural history studies. The delicate posture of the swallow perched on a branch allows us to appreciate both its gracefulness and intricate features. Through Bridgeman Images' careful preservation efforts, we can now enjoy this remarkable painting that celebrates Australian fauna's diversity while honoring centuries-old scientific exploration into our feathered friends' world.
