EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate print depicts the Foolish Guillemot, scientifically known as Uria troile, also referred to as Colymbus troile. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the accomplished British artist, George Graves, for his seminal work, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was an extraordinary polymath, excelling not only as an artist and engraver but also as a bookseller and publisher. His mastery of various artistic mediums is evident in this exquisite print, which showcases the intricate details of the Foolish Guillemot's plumage and distinctive features. The Foolish Guillemot, a member of the auk family, is a native of the North Atlantic Ocean. They are named for their behavior of returning to their nests on cliffs and rocky shores even during rough weather, which can be hazardous for their young. This print captures the bird in its natural habitat, perched on a rocky outcrop, with the crashing waves in the background. The vibrant colors of the print bring the scene to life, making it a captivating addition to any collection of historical ornithological art. Graves' "British Ornithology" was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of a wide range of British birds. This print of the Foolish Guillemot is a testament to Graves' artistic prowess and his dedication to accurately documenting the natural world. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a connection to the rich history of ornithology and the beauty of the natural world.
