EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Crane, stone curlew and bustards" takes us back to the year 1915. Created by the talented artist Archibald Thorburn, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery in watercolor and bodycolor techniques over pencil on paper. Currently housed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, it is a true gem of their collection. The image transports us into a serene natural setting where three magnificent birds take center stage. A graceful crane stands tall with its slender silhouette against a backdrop of lush vegetation. Its elegant posture exudes tranquility and poise. Beside the crane, we find two striking bustards - large-bodied birds known for their impressive size and unique appearance. Their intricate plumage is beautifully captured through Thorburn's meticulous brushstrokes, showcasing his attention to detail. At the forefront of this composition rests a stone curlew, adding an element of intrigue to the scene. With its distinct markings and piercing gaze, it seems almost ethereal amidst its avian companions. Thorburn's illustration skillfully brings these creatures to life on paper; each stroke capturing their essence with remarkable precision. This artwork serves as a testament to both his artistic talent and deep appreciation for nature's beauty. As we admire this timeless masterpiece from afar, let us be reminded of our connection with wildlife and marvel at its wonders that continue to inspire artists throughout history.
