EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sandwich tern, scientifically known as Thalasseus sandvicensis. The handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving were skillfully executed by Edward Donovan for his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds" in London between 1794 and 1819. Edward Donovan was a remarkable figure in the field of natural history during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. An Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver, he dedicated his life to studying and documenting various species of birds, fish, shells, and insects. His passion for these subjects led him to establish his own museum of natural history in London. However, despite his initial success and contributions to scientific knowledge through his beautifully illustrated volumes on nature's wonders, Donovan faced financial hardships later in life. Sadly, he died penniless after experiencing a fall from grace. This image serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of Edward Donovan and the beauty of nature itself. Through delicate strokes on copperplate engravings enhanced with vibrant colors applied by hand, this depiction captures the elegance and gracefulness of the Sandwich tern. As we admire this artwork today, let us remember Edward Donovan's significant contributions to our understanding of British wildlife while also reflecting on how even those who dedicate their lives to science can face adversity along their journey.
