EDITORS COMMENTS
This image dates back to circa 1650 and depicts the legendary act of a female pelican, known scientifically as Pelecanus onocrotalus. The pelican is a large, distinctive bird with a distinctive pouch under its beak, which it uses to scoop up water and food for its young. According to ancient mythology, when food sources were scarce, the pelican was said to display an extraordinary act of maternal love and devotion. The female pelican was believed to peck her own chest, allowing her blood to flow into the open mouths of her young. This selfless act was thought to sustain the chicks until food became available once again. The pelican's reputation as a blood donor is a powerful symbol of sacrifice and nurturing, making it a popular motif in art and heraldry throughout history. This print, with its intricate detail and lifelike quality, captures the essence of this remarkable bird and the enduring legend that surrounds it. The female pelican's regal bearing and the vibrant colors of her plumage are beautifully rendered, making this a truly stunning and evocative work of art.
