EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the majestic flight of a Red Kite (Milvus ictinus), also known as the Gled or Glead, as it soars through the historic English skies in the year 1851. The Red Kite, a bird of prey native to Europe, is easily recognizable by its distinctive red and broad wings, which allow it to perform impressive glides and thermal updrafts. The Red Kite was once a common sight in the British Isles but was hunted to near extinction due to persecution by gamekeepers who saw the bird as a threat to game populations. However, conservation efforts in the 20th century led to a successful reintroduction program, and today the Red Kite can once again be found gracing the skies above the United Kingdom. This photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, offers a glimpse into a time when the Red Kite was still a common sight in the English countryside. The bird's elegant form and powerful flight are on full display as it glides effortlessly through the air, its sharp eyes scanning the ground below for prey. The image is a testament to the beauty and resilience of nature, and serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect endangered species. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical prints available at Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online. The library offers a vast array of images documenting the natural world, as well as history, culture, and art. Each print is meticulously scanned and restored to preserve the original detail and character, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, educators, and anyone with an interest in the past. This Red Kite print is a must-have for bird enthusiasts, historians, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.
