EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning watercolor illustration titled "Page 56. Melephahu Cyanops". The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, is part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, dating back to 1791-92. The painting depicts a mesmerizing Blue-faced Honeyeater (Entomyzon cyanotis) perched on a branch. Its vibrant blue head, resembling the finest ultramarine pigment, stands out against its feathered body. A unique feature of this bird is that its outer and middle toes are connected to the first joint. Located at the Mitchell Library within the State Library of New South Wales, this exquisite piece offers valuable insights into ornithology and zoological illustration during that era. The sketches in this collection are meticulously labeled with additional notes specifying the month each bird was sighted and its size. This particular image captures not only the beauty of Australian fauna but also provides a glimpse into natural history studies conducted centuries ago. With no feathers growing on its blue head, this Blue-faced Honeyeater exemplifies nature's intricate details that continue to captivate us today. Brought to you by Bridgeman Images as part of their Fine Art Finder collection, this remarkable print serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage intertwined with scientific exploration in understanding our world's diverse wildlife.
