EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of a Little Grebe, also known as Podiceps ruficollis. The image is part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, created by an unknown artist in the 18th century. Page 95 showcases this stunning waterbird with intricate details and precision. Along the lower edge, a note written in a different hand reads "September" indicating when this marvelous creature was observed. The bird's natural size is depicted flawlessly, highlighting its delicate feathers that possess a shining silky appearance. The Little Grebe rarely ventures far from its habitat and seldom flies more than 50 or 60 yards at a time. Its wings consist of three joints, which is common among tropical birds like itself. The artwork can be found at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales. This historical piece offers valuable insights into ornithology and zoology during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are reminded of the wonders found within nature's creations. From its webbed feet to its vibrant plumage, every detail tells a story about this aquatic bird's life and existence. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those interested in avian fauna and natural history alike.
