EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 14 from Ferdinand Lucas Bauer's zoological watercolours and drawings, depicts the vibrant and intricately detailed image of Psephotus dissimilis, the hooded parrot, in its natural habitat. This exquisite illustration was observed and documented during Captain Matthew Flinders' historic circumnavigational survey of Australia aboard the Investigator between 1801 and 1803. Captain Flinders, an accomplished navigator and explorer, was accompanied on his journey by naturalist and artist, Ferdinand Lucas Bauer. Bauer meticulously recorded the diverse fauna of the lands and waters they encountered, producing a series of stunningly accurate and beautifully rendered watercolours. This particular illustration showcases a pair of hooded parrots, perched on a branch against a lush green backdrop. The parrots, with their brightly coloured plumage and distinctive hoods, are a striking contrast against the natural surroundings. The intricate details of their feathers, beaks, and eyes are captured with remarkable precision, providing a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this unique species. Jonathan Elphic, a renowned ornithologist and author, later identified the hooded parrot as Psephotus dissimilis, a species endemic to Australasia. The illustration, produced between 1774 and 1814, is a testament to the art of ornithology during the 18th century and the importance of documentation and exploration in the natural sciences. Ferdinand Lucas Bauer's illustrations, including this one of the hooded parrot, continue to be celebrated for their accuracy, beauty, and historical significance. They offer a window into the natural world as it was observed and recorded during a time of great discovery and exploration.
