EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor drawing, titled Number 43, is a stunning representation of two intriguing Australian creatures: the Todiramphus sanctus, or Sacred Kingfisher, and the Malurus melanocephala, or Grey-headed Fairy Wren. The artwork was meticulously created by the skilled hand of George Raper in the late 18th century, during the period of 1768 to 1797. Raper, an accomplished naturalist and artist, was a significant contributor to the scientific community during this era, documenting the diverse fauna of Australasia. The Sacred Kingfisher, depicted on the left, is a small, slender bird belonging to the Coraciiformes order and the Alcedinidae family. Its distinctive blue plumage and long, pointed bill make it a captivating sight. The bird is perched on a branch, its back turned towards the viewer, revealing the intricate details of its anatomy. The fan-like structure at the base of its tail is a characteristic feature of kingfishers, used for balance while hovering above water to catch prey. On the right, the Grey-headed Fairy Wren, a small bird from the Aves class and the Maluridae family, is shown with its grey-headed, black-breasted body and bright blue collar. This bird is known for its distinctive call and elaborate courtship displays. The fairy wren is depicted on a branch, flying towards the viewer, with a fly in its beak. This beautiful watercolor drawing, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the natural history of Australia during the 18th century. It is a testament to Raper's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the diverse wildlife of Australasia.
