EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print showcases the Black chin grebe, also known as Podiceps hebridicus, or possibly the Little grebe, Tachybaptus ruficollis. Created by Edward Donovan for his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds" this exquisite piece of art dates back to London in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Edward Donovan was a remarkable Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver who dedicated his life to studying and documenting various aspects of nature. His passion for birds led him to produce a series of volumes on birds, fish, shells, and insects. Additionally, he established his own museum of natural history in London. However, despite his significant contributions to the field of natural history illustration during his lifetime, Donovan's story took a tragic turn. He fell upon hard times and ultimately passed away penniless. Nevertheless, through works like this stunning print capturing the beauty of avian species such as the Black chin grebe or Little grebe with intricate details and vibrant colors meticulously applied by hand. Today we can admire Donovan's legacy through prints like these that have been preserved over time. They serve as both a testament to his artistic talent and an important historical record showcasing Britain's diverse birdlife from centuries past.
