EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor and pencil drawing of an Ivory Gull (Pagophila eburnea) is a testament to the natural history artistry of Richard Dunscombe Parker (1805-1881). The Ivory Gull, a rare and elusive bird, is native to the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Its pristine, ivory-colored plumage makes it a striking sight against the icy backdrop of its Arctic habitat. Parker's mastery of the medium is evident in the intricate details of the gull's feathers, the delicate shading, and the lifelike representation of the bird's expressive eyes. The artist's use of gum paper adds texture and depth to the image, enhancing the overall effect. The Ivory Gull was first described scientifically by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758, and was named Pagophila eburnea, derived from the Greek words 'pagos' meaning ice, and 'philos' meaning loving. The gull's scientific name reflects its Arctic habitat and distinctive appearance. This drawing is an important record of the Ivory Gull, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the past. It is a reminder of the beauty and fragility of Arctic ecosystems, and the importance of preserving these unique habitats for future generations.
