EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving captures the unique beauty of a mule bird, believed to be a hybrid between a pheasant and partridge, found at Holt Park in Farnham, Surrey. The intricate details of this 18th-century illustration, created by J. Pass after Johann Jakob Ihle's original work for Ebenezer Sibly's Universal System of Natural History in London in 1796, showcase the skill and artistry of the era. The mule bird stands as a testament to the wonders of nature and the endless possibilities that can arise from unexpected crossings between species. Its delicate features and graceful form are brought to life through careful hand-coloring, adding depth and vibrancy to the image. As you gaze upon this enchanting creature, you can't help but marvel at its origins and ponder the mysteries of genetic inheritance. The blending of characteristics from both pheasant and partridge creates a truly unique specimen that captivates with its elegance. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history of natural exploration and discovery that has shaped our understanding of the world around us. It is a testament to the enduring fascination with hybrid creatures like the mule bird, which continue to capture our imagination centuries later.
