EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts the Stonechat, Sylvia rubicola, also known as Motacilla rubicola or Saxicola rubicola, a small bird native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The Stonechat is recognized by its distinctive red breast and wings, which contrast sharply with its gray-brown back and white underparts. This stunning representation of the Stonechat was drawn and engraved by George Graves in 1821, during the height of the British ornithological revolution. Graves was a remarkable figure in the world of natural history, serving not only as a bookseller and publisher but also as an artist, engraver, and colorist. His work on botanical and ornithological books was highly regarded for its meticulous attention to detail and artistic merit. This particular print is taken from Graves' "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. The copperplate engraving showcases the Stonechat perched on a rocky outcrop, its vibrant plumage and expressive features captured in intricate detail. The handcoloring adds a further layer of beauty and realism to the image, making it a prized possession for any natural history enthusiast or collector. The Stonechat was, and continues to be, a popular subject for ornithological illustrations due to its striking appearance and wide distribution across Europe and Asia. This print is a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the early 19th century, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the natural world.
