EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 19 from Ferdinand Lucas Bauer's zoological watercolours and drawings, depicting the Northern Rosella, Platycercus venustus, observed during Captain Matthew Flinders' circumnavigational survey of Australia aboard the Investigator from 1801 to 1803. This exquisite watercolor painting, created between 1760 and 1826 by the skilled hand of Bauer, captures the vibrant beauty of this parrot species native to northern and eastern Australia. The Northern Rosella, also known as the Smutty Rosella or Browns Parakeet, is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive combination of black, blue, green, and red plumage. The bird is perched on a branch, displaying its long, curved beak and broad, bright red tail. The intricate details of its anatomy are on full display, revealing the delicate structure of its wings, rump, and cheek patch. This ornithological illustration is a testament to the remarkable natural history discoveries made during the Investigator's voyage, which significantly expanded the scientific knowledge of the avian fauna of Australia. The Sauropsida order, to which the Northern Rosella belongs, includes reptiles and birds, reflecting the close evolutionary relationship between these two groups. This historical artwork continues to captivate viewers with its stunning visual representation of the natural world and the scientific exploration of the past.
