EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor drawing, titled "Pelecanus conspicillatus" or the Australian White Pelican, is a captivating work of art from The Raper Collection, created by the skilled hand of George Raper in 1792. The illustration showcases the grace and elegance of this magnificent bird as it gracefully swims in a harbor setting. With its distinctive long, pouchy beak open wide, the pelican appears to be filtering water for food, showcasing its unique feeding technique. The White Pelican is a large, majestic bird belonging to the pelecaniformes order, specifically the pelecanidae family. It is native to the Australasian region, including Australia and New Guinea. This illustration, a masterpiece of the 18th century, is a testament to the art of ornithology during this period. George Raper, the artist, was an English naturalist and illustrator who lived from 1768 to 1797. He is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the animals he depicted. This drawing, along with many others in The Raper Collection, provides valuable insights into the natural history of the world during the late 18th century. The Australian White Pelican is a seabird, and this illustration highlights its impressive size and stature. With its wings spread wide, the pelican appears to be in flight, adding to the dynamic and engaging quality of the artwork. Overall, this beautiful watercolor is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of ornithology, natural history, or simply appreciating the beauty of nature.
