EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour painting depicts the Entelea arborescens, also known as the whau tree, a native plant of New Zealand and Australia. The artwork was created by the renowned 18th-century English botanical artist Fred Polydore Nodder, based on an original outline drawing made by Sydney Parkinson during Captain James Cook's first voyage across the Pacific Ocean from 1768 to 1771. The Entelea arborescens is a flowering plant belonging to the Malvaceae family, which is part of the larger group of angiosperms, dicotyledons, or eudicots. This tree is a valuable member of the Malvales order and the Rosid clade. The tree is known for its distinctive, large, and vibrant flowers, which are typically white or pink in color. Captain Cook's voyage was a groundbreaking exploration of the Pacific, during which he charted new territories and made significant discoveries. Sydney Parkinson, a skilled naturalist and artist, accompanied Cook on this journey and made numerous observations and sketches of the plants and animals they encountered. These sketches were later used by botanical illustrators like Fred Polydore Nodder to create detailed and accurate watercolour paintings. This particular painting showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Entelea arborescens, capturing its unique features and vibrant colors. The artwork serves as a testament to the rich natural history of the Pacific region and the important role that early explorers and naturalists played in documenting and preserving it for future generations.
