EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print depicts Philesternus carrunculatus, also known as the saddleback, a remarkable bird discovered during Captain James Cook's third voyage (1776-1780). The illustration is one of many sketches made by the naturalist William Ellis during the expedition. The saddleback, a member of the Callaeidae family, is native to the Pacific Islands. It is characterized by its distinctive curved bill and bright, iridescent plumage. The bird's head is adorned with a prominent crest, adding to its striking appearance. The saddleback is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm, specifically belonging to the Fabaceae family. Angiosperms are flowering plants, and the Fabaceae family is commonly known as the legume family. The saddleback's diet consists mainly of seeds and insects, making it an important contributor to the ecological balance of its habitat. This detailed illustration provides an insight into the natural history of the saddleback, which was an intriguing discovery for the explorers of the 18th century. The anatomy of the bird, particularly its bill, is depicted with great accuracy, reflecting the meticulous observation skills of William Ellis. The adventure of Captain Cook's voyages led to the discovery of numerous new species, expanding the scientific knowledge of the natural world. This watercolor print is a testament to the importance of exploration and the fascination with the natural world that drove the scientific discoveries of the past. Overall, this beautiful illustration of Philesternus carrunculatus is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints, offering a glimpse into the wonders of the natural world that were discovered during the Age of Exploration.
