EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Dutch naturalist artist JG Keulemans, featured in Sir Walter Lawry Buller's "A History of the Birds of New Zealand" Volume 2, Plate 29, dates back to 1888. The illustration showcases two distinctive waterbirds native to New Zealand's Snares Islands: the Snares Island Snipe (Tutukiwi, Coenocorypha huegeli) and the Bar-tailed Godwit (Kuaka, Limosa lapponica). The Snares Island Snipe, a small, brown-feathered bird with a distinctive white stripe over its eye, is a rare endemic species endemic to the Snares and Solander Islands. Once hunted to near extinction, conservation efforts have helped to stabilize their population. The Bar-tailed Godwit, a large, wading bird with long, straight, and slightly downcurved bills, is a migratory species that breeds in the northern hemisphere and winters in the southern hemisphere. This particular godwit is identified by its long, black and white striped legs and a distinctive barring pattern on its wings. Keulemans' masterful watercolor painting captures the intricate details of both birds, from their plumage to their beaks and legs. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the birds' unique characteristics make this artwork a valuable addition to any natural history collection. This illustration is a testament to the rich biodiversity of New Zealand and the important role that natural history art plays in documenting and preserving the natural world. The Snares Island Snipe and Bar-tailed Godwit continue to inspire awe and fascination, and this artwork serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these remarkable species for future generations.
