EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of floating nests belonging to the Little Grebe, also known as dabchick (Tachybaptus ruficollis). Published in 1882 as part of "The Universe or, The Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Little" this engraving takes us back to a time when ornithology and natural science were flourishing. In this image, we witness the intricate craftsmanship of these water birds' nests as they gracefully float on a serene river or pond. The Little Grebes have ingeniously constructed their homes using various materials found in their aquatic habitat. These nests not only provide shelter but serve as safe havens for their precious eggs during breeding season. The historical significance of this illustration cannot be understated. It offers us a glimpse into avian biology from the 19th century, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that early scientists had towards understanding nature's wonders. This vintage picture transports us back in time, reminding us of our deep connection with wildlife and how it has fascinated humans throughout history. Ken Welsh's expertise shines through his ability to capture such an enchanting moment in nature's tapestry. As we admire this print, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its contribution to our knowledge of these fascinating creatures and their remarkable nesting habits.
