EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration, titled 'Large Series plate 24,' showcases two captivating natural wonders of the nineteenth century: the Cactua moluccensis, or salmon-crested cockatoo, and the Erythrina arborescens, a flowering plant native to Asia. The illustration, part of the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China, was created during the 19th century. The salmon-crested cockatoo, a member of the Cacatua family, is perched gracefully on a long branch, its vibrant plumage on full display. The cockatoo's crest, a distinctive feature of this species, is raised high, adding to its regal appearance. The intricate details of its feathers, beak, and eyes are expertly rendered in watercolor, capturing the essence of this beautiful and intelligent bird. In the background, the Erythrina arborescens, also known as the coral tree, adds a burst of color and life to the scene. Its fan-shaped, red and pink flowers bloom abundantly, providing a striking contrast to the lush green foliage. This flowering plant, an angiosperm belonging to the Magnoliophyta division, is native to Asia and is known for its beauty and importance in various cultures. The illustration, created during the 19th century, is a testament to the natural wonders that captivated the world during this period of exploration and discovery. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the cockatoo and the coral tree to life, transporting us to a time when the natural world was a source of endless fascination and inspiration.
