EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Long-billed Cockatoo, also known as Licmetis nasicus, featured in John Gould's renowned publication "The Birds of Australia". Created between 1840 and 1869, this hand-coloured lithograph measures an impressive 54.5 x 36cm. The image depicts the bird perched on a branch against a white background, allowing its vibrant red feathers to stand out beautifully. With its head turned and beak slightly open, the cockatoo appears to be leaning forward in curiosity or perhaps aversion. Its full-length posture gives us a detailed view of its long bill and intricate feather patterns. John Gould, an English artist and illustrator from the mid-19th century, skillfully captured the essence of this magnificent creature through his meticulous drawing technique. The hand-colouring adds depth and richness to the illustration, enhancing every minute detail. Set amidst a leafy rural landscape with no other animals or humans present, this artwork transports us into nature's tranquility. The composition exudes elegance and grace as it captures the cockatoo's natural habitat. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a scientific study of one of Australia's unique bird species. It is sure to captivate any admirer of fine art or ornithology alike with its exquisite beauty and attention to detail.
