Pennantian Parrot (now known as a crimson rosella), Plate 13 in Surgeon General John White’s A journal of a voyage to New South Wales. This and many other plates in the book were reproduced from original paintings by Sarah Stone (c 1760–1844), a prolific and talented artist. She worked from specimens, rather than live animals, but still captured the playfulness characteristic of many Australian birds. ANMM Collection 00055487
