EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Wagel gull, a young specimen of the great black-backed gull species known as Larus marinus. The image is a handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving created by Edward Donovan for his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds" published in London between 1794 and 1819. Edward Donovan, an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver, dedicated his life to studying and documenting various aspects of nature. His passion led him to produce a series of volumes on birds, fish, shells, and insects. In addition to his publications, Donovan even established his own museum of natural history in London. However, despite his contributions to the field of zoology and natural history illustration during this period, Donovan's later years were marked by financial difficulties. Sadly, he passed away penniless after experiencing significant hardships. The exquisite detail captured in this handcoloured copperplate print allows viewers to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the young Wagel gull's features. Its delicate feathers are meticulously depicted with vibrant hues that bring it to life on paper. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images © Florilegius), we can admire both the artistic talent displayed by Edward Donovan as well as gain insight into one man's dedication towards understanding and preserving our natural world.
