EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Barn-Owl - Strix flam mea, c1910" takes us back to the early 20th century and immerses us in the world of British wildlife. Created by the talented artist George James Rankin, this piece is a part of the renowned publication "Britain's Birds and Their Nests" by A. Landsborough Thomson. The image transports us to an outdoor setting near a tranquil riverbank. The urban landscape in the background hints at human activity coexisting with nature. In this nocturnal scene, we witness a majestic barn owl perched on a bridge railing, its plumage beautifully captured in vibrant colors. The photograph evokes feelings of both sadness and awe as it reminds us of the passage of time and how our environment has changed over the years. It serves as a poignant reminder that these magnificent creatures are an integral part of our natural heritage. With meticulous attention to detail, Rankin's watercolor portrait showcases not only the bird but also an inset depicting its egg—a symbol of new life and continuity within nature's cycle. This exquisite composition exemplifies Rankin's expertise in ornithology illustration. As we admire this remarkable artwork from 1910, let it serve as a timeless memory etched into our minds—an homage to Britain's diverse avian species and their significance within our ecosystem.
