EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Middle spotted woodpecker, scientifically known as Dendrocopos medius. The image depicts a handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving created by the talented Edward Donovan for 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 various aspects of nature. His passion led him to write and illustrate numerous volumes on birds, fish, shells, and insects. In addition to his literary contributions, Donovan even established his own museum of natural history in London. Unfortunately, despite his remarkable achievements in the field of natural history, Edward Donovan faced financial difficulties later in life which left him penniless. Nevertheless, this stunning artwork serves as a testament to his immense talent and dedication. The Middle spotted woodpecker depicted in this print is beautifully captured with intricate details that highlight its unique features. This species is native to Britain and is characterized by its distinct red crown patch against a black-and-white body pattern. Through this photograph's artistic representation of nature's wonders combined with the story behind its creator's struggles and triumphs within the scientific community during that era; it reminds us of both the beauty found in our world's creatures as well as the challenges faced by those who dedicate their lives to understanding them.
