EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate print depicts a Red-necked Grebe, Podiceps grisegena (also known as Podiceps rubricollis), in its elegant and graceful pose. The Red-necked Grebe is a migratory waterbird that can be found in the Northern Hemisphere's temperate and subarctic regions. This beautiful illustration was drawn and engraved by the renowned English naturalist and ornithologist, John Latham, for his seminal work, "A General History of Birds." Latham's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate plumage and anatomical features of the Red-necked Grebe. The bird's distinctive red neck and nape, black and white head, and black and white body are all rendered with exceptional accuracy. The print also captures the subtle textures of the feathers, the sharpness of the beak, and the intricacies of the legs and feet. The Red-necked Grebe is a versatile and adaptable bird, able to dive deep underwater to catch fish and other prey. Its long, slender neck and body are perfectly suited to this aquatic lifestyle. In this print, the bird is shown with its neck extended, giving a sense of the bird's agility and grace in the water. John Latham's "A General History of Birds" was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring accurate and detailed illustrations of over 2,000 species. This Red-necked Grebe print is a testament to Latham's skill as an artist and naturalist, and remains an important historical record of this beautiful and fascinating bird species.
