EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts the Northern Wheatear, Oenanthe oenanthe, a small migratory bird belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by the renowned British artist, George Graves, for his seminal work "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was an accomplished figure in the scientific community, excelling in various artistic and technical disciplines, including bookselling, publishing, art, and engraving. The Northern Wheatear is a striking bird, with a distinctive black and white pattern on its belly and a reddish-brown back. This bird is a long-distance migrant, breeding in the Arctic regions of Europe and Asia and traveling to Africa for the winter. The Northern Wheatear is known for its agile and energetic movements, often perching on rocks and hopping around on the ground in search of insects and other invertebrates. Graves' illustration captures the Northern Wheatear in remarkable detail, with each feather and contour meticulously rendered. The handcoloring adds an additional layer of beauty and realism to the print, bringing out the vibrant hues of the bird's plumage. This historical print is not only a testament to Graves' artistic skill but also a valuable record of the natural world as it was known in the early 19th century. The Northern Wheatear remains a beloved species among birdwatchers and naturalists, and this beautiful print serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the natural world that has driven scientific exploration and artistic expression for centuries.
