EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the European honey buzzard, Pernis apivorus, in all its glory. Handcoloured and engraved by Edward Donovan from his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds" this piece is a testament to both his artistic talent and passion for zoology. Edward Donovan, an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver, dedicated his life to studying and documenting various aspects of nature. His extensive volumes on birds, fish, shells, and insects were not only informative but also beautifully illustrated with intricate engravings like the one featured here. Donovan's dedication to natural history extended beyond his publications; he even opened his own museum in London. However, despite his initial success as a naturalist and artist, fate dealt him a cruel hand. He fell upon hard times later in life and tragically died penniless. As we admire this stunning image of the European honey buzzard captured through Donovan's skilled handiwork on copperplate engraving techniques combined with delicate coloring methods known as handcoloring; it serves as a reminder of both the beauty found in nature and the struggles faced by those who dedicate their lives to its study. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only the magnificent bird itself but also pays homage to Edward Donovan's significant contributions to our understanding of British wildlife through artistry that has stood the test of time.
