Handcoloured by Edward Donovan himself, this copperplate engraving is a testament to his remarkable talent as an artist and engraver.

His dedication to capturing the beauty of these creatures is evident in this stunning depiction of the Eurasian curlew. During his lifetime, Donovan's work gained recognition and he even opened his own museum of natural history in London.

Despite these hardships, his legacy lives on through his extraordinary contributions to the field of natural history. This photograph serves as both a visual delight and a poignant reminder of Donovan's immense talent and passion for capturing the wonders of nature. It invites us to appreciate not only the intricate details of this particular bird but also the enduring impact that individuals like Edward Donovan have had on our understanding and appreciation of wildlife throughout history.
