EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Black Grouse (Tetrao tetrix), 1900" takes us back to the turn of the 20th century when British wildlife was celebrated through art. Created by renowned artist Charles Whymper for Charles Dixon's book "The Game Birds and Wild Fowl of The British Islands" this illustration showcases the beauty and elegance of a black grouse in its natural habitat. Set against a picturesque riverbank, we see the side view of this magnificent bird with its striking black plumage contrasting against vibrant red markings on its wing. The close-up perspective allows us to appreciate every intricate detail, from the feathers to the delicate features on its face. Whymper's skillful use of color brings this artwork to life, capturing not only the essence but also the geographical significance of these game birds in Britain. As an ornithologist and illustrator, Whymper expertly portrays their profile with accuracy and precision. Printed as a chromolithograph by Pawson & Brailsford publishers in Sheffield in 1900, this piece has stood the test of time as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific observation. Preserved by The Print Collector29 collection at Heritage Images, it continues to inspire awe among nature enthusiasts today. With its rich history and timeless charm, this remarkable print serves as a reminder of our connection with wildlife and encourages us to cherish and protect these beautiful creatures that grace our lands.
