EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Little Grebe, scientifically known as Tachybaptus ruficollis. The image is a handcoloured copperplate drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan from his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds" published in London between 1794 and 1819. Edward Donovan was an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver who dedicated his life to studying and documenting the natural world. His passion for wildlife led him to write and illustrate several volumes on birds, fish, shells, and insects. In addition to his literary achievements, Donovan also established his own museum of natural history in London. However, despite his significant contributions to the field of zoology during his lifetime, Edward Donovan faced financial difficulties later on. Sadly, he passed away penniless but left behind a remarkable legacy that continues to inspire nature enthusiasts today. The Little Grebe depicted in this artwork is beautifully captured with intricate details that highlight its unique features. Its vibrant colors are enhanced through delicate handcoloring techniques employed by Donovan himself. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also pays homage to an extraordinary individual whose dedication to natural history remains immortalized through his artistic creations.
