EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored print depicts the Long-tailed Titmouse, Parus caudatus, also known as the Long-tailed Tit or Aegithalos caudatus. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by the renowned British artist, George Graves, in 1821. Graves was a versatile figure in the scientific community, excelling not only as an artist and engraver but also as a bookseller and publisher. He is best known for his work on botanical and ornithological books. The Long-tailed Titmouse is a small, active bird native to Europe and Asia. With its distinctive long, bushy tail and bright yellow eyes, this bird is a delight to observe in its natural habitat. The Long-tailed Titmouse is a social species, forming large family groups that work together to build intricate, spherical nests using moss, lichens, and spider webs. This particular print is taken from Graves' "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. The work was a collaborative effort between Graves and the renowned ornithologist, William Samuel Howitt. Howitt provided the scientific expertise, while Graves brought his artistic talents to the project, resulting in a stunning collection of avian illustrations. The print's intricate detail and vibrant colors were achieved through the traditional copperplate engraving and hand-coloring techniques of the time. The resulting image is a testament to the skill and dedication of both Graves and Howitt, as well as the rich history of ornithological illustration in the early 19th century.
