Summary:
JOHN HUNTER Australian King-Parrot Alisterus scapularis. Pencil and watercolour wash, 22.6 × 18.3 cm; between 1788 and 1790. Hunter often copied Raper’s paintings, in this case adding his own whimsical twist. Hunter inscribed the illustration with the Eora name, Go-mah (Murry). George Caley, who post-dates Hunter, is said to have suggested the name King’s Parrot in honour of Governor King, yet Hunter seems to suggest that the bird is a fit pet for a king.
