EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor drawing, titled "Calyptorhynchus lathami" or the Glossy Black Cockatoo, is a masterpiece from The Raper Collection, created by the skilled hand of George Raper in the late 18th century. The intricate details of this Australian native bird's anatomy are beautifully captured in this artwork, showcasing its distinctive features. The Glossy Black Cockatoo, also known as the Casuarina Black Cockatoo, is a member of the Cacatuidae family and is endemic to eastern Australia. The bird is easily recognizable by its glossy black plumage, distinctive crest, and large, hooked beak. In this drawing, Raper expertly depicts the bird's expressive face, with its bright, intelligent eyes and the subtle textures of its grey head and cheek. The Glossy Black Cockatoo is perched on a branch, its body language conveying a sense of calm and composure. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the way the feathers on the bird's wings are rendered, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The delicate shading and use of watercolor create a stunning contrast between the dark, glossy feathers and the lighter background, making this artwork a true masterpiece of the art of ornithology. George Raper was an accomplished artist and naturalist, and this drawing is a testament to his skill and dedication to documenting the natural world around him. The Raper Collection, which includes over 2,000 drawings and watercolors of birds, is a valuable resource for ornithologists and art historians alike, providing insights into the natural history and artistic traditions of the late 18th century. This particular drawing, with its intricate details and beautiful composition, is a must-see for anyone interested in the natural world or the history of ornithological illustration.
