EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 23 from Ferdinand Lucas Bauer's zoological watercolours and drawings presents the vibrant and captivating figure of Aprosmictus erythropterus, the Red-winged Parrot. This exquisite illustration was created during the historic circumnavigational survey of Australia led by Captain Matthew Flinders aboard the Investigator between 1801 and 1803. The male parrot is depicted in stunning detail, perched confidently on a branch with its brilliant red wings spread out, contrasting against its blue and green plumage. Ferdinand Lucas Bauer, a skilled artist and naturalist, meticulously captured the intricate features of this remarkable bird. The Red-winged Parrot, also known as the Red-rumped Parrotlet or the Red-winged Parakeet, is native to Australia and New Guinea. It belongs to the family Psittacidae, order Psittaciformes, and is characterized by its distinctive red wings and blue and green body. Matthew Flinders' voyage around Australia was a groundbreaking exploration that significantly expanded the world's knowledge of the continent's diverse wildlife. This illustration of the Red-winged Parrot is a testament to the extraordinary discoveries made during this journey. The detailed observation and documentation of species like the Red-winged Parrot were essential for the scientific community, contributing to the understanding and classification of the avian fauna of Australasia. Ferdinand Lucas Bauer's illustrations, produced between 1774 and 1814, are renowned for their exceptional quality and accuracy. This image of the Red-winged Parrot is a prime example of his artistic prowess and dedication to capturing the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
