EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor painting, titled Callaeas cinerea, depicts the kokako (pronounced ko-koko), a native bird species of New Zealand, created during the historic second voyage of Captain James Cook (1728-1779) between 1772 and 1775. The painting was produced by the renowned naturalist George Forster (1754-1794), who accompanied Cook on his expedition to explore the southern continent. Forster, a German naturalist, was an accomplished artist and scholar, and his illustrations were instrumental in documenting the diverse flora and fauna of the South Pacific. This particular painting showcases the striking features of the kokako, a grey, plump bird with a distinctive blue-grey wattles and a red iris. The kokako is a member of the Callaeidae family, which is part of the larger order of birds known as the eudicots or angiosperms. It is also a flowering plant angiosperm, belonging to the Fabaceae family, making it a dicotyledon or dicot. The kokako was an intriguing discovery for European explorers, as it was previously unknown to the Western world. The painting by Forster serves as an important record of this unique bird species, which was later classified by Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1788. Today, the kokako is considered a national symbol of New Zealand and is a protected species due to its endangered status. This exquisite watercolor painting not only captures the essence of the kokako but also transports us back to an era of adventure and discovery, when the world was still filled with unknown wonders waiting to be explored.
