EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Corn Crake (Crex pratensis) in all its natural glory. Created by the talented artist Charles Whymper, this piece is part of The Game Birds and Wild Fowl of The British Islands collection, illustrated by Whymper himself and written by Charles Dixon. Published in 1900 by Pawson & Brailsford, Sheffield, this artwork showcases the intricate details of this beautiful bird. The image depicts a side view of the Corn Crake standing on a riverbank outdoors. Its plumage displays an array of stunning patterns and colors that perfectly blend with its surroundings. With a cautious yet uncertain expression on its face, it symbolizes the concept of wildlife adapting to their environment. Whymper's skillful illustration brings out every minute detail - from the bird's profile to its unique animal markings. This chromolithograph portrait transports us back to early 20th-century Britain when these game birds were abundant in the wild. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our geographical connection to nature and how important it is to appreciate and protect our wildlife heritage. The print collector29 has preserved this extraordinary work for generations to come, allowing us to marvel at both Charles Whymper's talent as an artist and his contribution to ornithology through his illustrations.
