EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kittiwake - Ris sa tridac tyla, c1910" transports us back to the early 20th century when British wildlife and nature were celebrated in all their glory. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than George James Rankin, whose attention to detail and mastery of watercolour truly shine through. In this side view portrait, we witness a majestic Kittiwake perched on a cliff overlooking the vast sea. Its alert gaze reveals a sense of guardianship as it diligently protects its nest containing precious eggs. The coastal backdrop adds an element of serenity and tranquility to the scene. The print's vibrant colors bring life to every feather meticulously painted by Rankin. This artwork not only showcases the beauty of these seabirds but also serves as an educational tool for ornithology enthusiasts who seek to study British birds in their natural habitat. Originally published in "Britain's Birds and Their Nests" by A. Landsborough Thomson, this print captures a moment frozen in time from over a century ago. It represents an era when publications like Waverley Book Company and W. R Chambers Limited aimed to enlighten readers about Britain's rich geographical features and diverse wildlife. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate the dedication put forth by George James Rankin and Arthur Landsborough Thomson in preserving our avian heritage for generations to come.
