biomedicalephemera: George Shaw’s illustration of Apteryx australis, the brown kiwi, from 1813. Or rather, an illustration of what he believed a live one would look like. Shaw based his illustration off of a kiwi skin brought to him by Captain Andrew Barclay, who received it from a sealer in Port Jackson (now Sydney Harbour).  The actual kiwi is stouter and much more horizontally-postured.
