EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite illustration of a Rays Wagtail, originally featured in William Yarrell's renowned book "A History of British Birds" published in 1843. The woodcut artwork beautifully captures the essence of this small passerine bird, now commonly known as the Yellow Wagtail. The name "Rays Wagtail" is believed to be derived from John Ray, an eminent naturalist from the 17th century. With its vibrant yellow plumage and distinctively long tail, this Motacilla flava species belongs to the wagtail family Motacillidae. Its presence adds charm and liveliness to any garden it graces. Yarrell's intricate illustration not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into ornithology. Every feathered detail has been carefully depicted, showcasing his expertise and passion for birds. This print offers a glimpse into the world of avian wonders that have fascinated humans for centuries.
