EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Palmipedes, Swimming Birds" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of ornithology and natural history. The vibrant colour lithograph showcases an array of swimming birds in all their splendor. From the majestic bean goose (Anser segetum) to the elegant brent goose (Brenta bernicla), each bird is depicted with meticulous detail. The image comes from a private collection and was originally featured in W. F. Kirby's "Natural History of the Animal Kingdom for the Use of Young People". This educational publication aimed to introduce young minds to various species of birds, making this print both visually stunning and informative. As we explore this historical artwork, we are transported into a realm where nature reigns supreme. The male and female eider ducks (Somateria mollissima) gracefully glide across calm waters while the harlequin duck (Fuligula histrionica) captivates with its striking plumage. Amongst these swimming birds, we also encounter the velvet scoter (Oidemia fusca), wild duck (Boschas boschas), common shieldrake (Tadorna vulpanser), pintail duck (Anas acuta), and several other fascinating species. Each bird represents a unique facet of wildlife that has enchanted humans throughout history. This print not only captures our attention but also serves as a reminder of our connection with nature's diverse wonders
