Abstract

A previously unknown painting of the rainbow lorikeet, Trichoglossus haematodus moluccanus (Gmelin),1by the Welsh artist Moses Griffith (1747–1819), servant to Thomas Pennant, appears to be the earliest painting of an Australian bird. The painting, dated 1772, depicts a specimen likely taken to England by Joseph Banks, following Cook's First Voyage (1768–1771), and seen by Pennant and Griffith in London in September 1771.
