EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "F. 37a Pintado. Seen in high south lat. 1772-75" takes us back to the remarkable second voyage of Captain Cook, where Admiral Isaac Smith and others documented their encounters with South Sea birds. The image showcases a stunning avian specimen, painted with exquisite detail by Smith himself. The bird depicted in this watercolor is known as a Pintado, found in the high southern latitudes during Cook's expedition between 1772 and 1775. Its graceful form glides through the waters of the South Pacific, showcasing its elegant grey plumage and distinctive webbed feet that enable it to swim effortlessly. This ornithological masterpiece not only captures the beauty of this particular species but also serves as an invaluable contribution to natural history and zoology. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when exploration was at its peak, unveiling new wonders from far-flung corners of our planet. Preserved within the Mitchell Library at the State Library of New South Wales, this painting stands as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific curiosity. It reminds us of our ongoing fascination with Earth's diverse fauna and encourages us to appreciate these magnificent creatures that inhabit our world's oceans.
