EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enigmatic and rarely seen species of penguin, whose identity remains a mystery. Created by the talented artist George Edwards in the 18th century, this handcoloured woodblock engraving is based on a specimen collected by renowned botanist Peter Collinson. The bird depicted bears resemblance to the Gentoo penguin, scientifically known as Pygoscelis papua. George Edwards' illustration comes from his remarkable work "The Natural History of Birds" published in 1815 by Brightly and Childs in Bungay, Suffolk. This collaboration between Charles Brightly and John Firby Childs brought forth a printing and stereotype foundry that revolutionized ornithological illustrations during the Georgian era. With meticulous attention to detail, Edwards captures the essence of this unknown species with precision and artistry. His scientific illustration not only serves as a visual record but also evokes curiosity about these fascinating creatures that inhabit our planet's remote corners. Through this stunning artwork, we are transported into a world where wildlife reigns supreme. The gentle sea bird stands proudly among its fellow fowls, showcasing nature's diversity at its finest. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured centuries ago, we are reminded of the beauty and wonder that exists within our natural world. Bridgeman Images presents us with an opportunity to appreciate both artistic mastery and scientific exploration through their exquisite collection of fine art prints like this one.
