EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pencil drawing depicts Accipiter novaehollandiae, the variable goshawk, created by the renowned naturalist George Forster during Captain James Cook's second voyage to explore the southern continent between 1772 and 1775. Forster meticulously annotated the drawing with the scientific name Falco lucetos, which was later corrected to Accipiter novaehollandiae. The illustration showcases the goshawk's striking features, including its sharp, hooked beak, piercing eyes, and the intricate outline of its feathers. During this groundbreaking expedition, Cook and his team made significant discoveries, charting new territories and documenting a wealth of new species, including the Accipiter novaehollandiae. Forster, as a naturalist on board, was responsible for documenting these discoveries through detailed illustrations, providing crucial information for the scientific community back in Europe. The goshawk is a member of the Accipitridae family, which also includes hawks, eagles, and kites. This particular species is native to Australia and New Guinea, and is known for its adaptability and versatility as a predator. The variable goshawk is a sauropsid, a reptile or amniote descended from the ancient reptile stock, and an accipitriform, a bird of prey. This drawing, created in the late 18th century by Forster, is a testament to the spirit of adventure and discovery that characterized the Age of Exploration. It is a reminder of the important role that natural history illustrations played in documenting new discoveries and expanding human knowledge of the natural world.
