EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable illustration titled "Page 85. Oedicnemus. at lower centre in different hand 1 / 2 the natural size Southern Stone, Curlew Burhinus magnirostris, 1791-92". Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this watercolor painting is currently housed in the Mitchell Library of the State Library of New South Wales. Part of Collection 27: Drawings of birds chiefly from Australia, this artwork provides a glimpse into the world of ornithology and zoological illustration during that era. Each sketch within this collection is meticulously labeled with additional notes indicating the month when each bird was sighted and its respective size. The featured piece specifically captures a Southern Stone Curlew (Burhinus magnirostris), commonly known as Oedicnemus. The artist's attention to detail is evident as they have depicted this magnificent avian creature with precision and accuracy. With its elegant stance and elongated beak, the curlew exudes gracefulness while wading through its natural habitat. This stunning portrayal not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also contributes to our understanding of Australian fauna and natural history. As we admire this extraordinary work, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and scientific significance.
