EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Stonechat, scientifically known as Saxicola rubicola. The handcoloured woodblock engraving was skillfully created by Edward Donovan, an esteemed artist from the Georgian and Regency era. Published in 1815 as part of "The Natural History of Birds" this artwork is a testament to both scientific illustration and artistic finesse. The Stonechat depicted in this print is meticulously detailed, with its vibrant plumage and delicate features brought to life through the artistry of woodcut engraving.
