EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored print showcases the Bohemian Chatterer, scientifically known as Ampelis garrulus, also referred to as the Bohemian Waxwing or Bombycilla garrulus. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the accomplished English naturalist, George Graves, for his seminal work, "British Ornithology," published in 1821. Graves was a polymath, renowned for his expertise in botanical and ornithological illustrations. He was not only an artist and engraver but also a bookseller and publisher. The Bohemian Chatterer is a striking bird, with its distinctive crest, glossy black plumage, and vibrant, wax-like tips on its wings. This bird is a member of the Bombycillidae family, which also includes the Cedar Waxwing and the Dusky Waxwing. The Bohemian Chatterer is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and is known for its lively and noisy chatter, which can be heard in flocks during the winter months. This print is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of 19th-century ornithological illustrations. The hand-coloring process, which involved the application of watercolor paints by skilled artisans, adds a level of depth and vibrancy to the image that is not possible with modern printing techniques. The copperplate engraving process, which involved etching the image onto a copper plate and then printing it using ink, was the standard method for producing high-quality illustrations during this period. Graves' "British Ornithology" was a groundbreaking work, featuring accurate and detailed illustrations of over 400 species of birds found in Britain and Ireland. This print of the Bohemian Chatterer is a rare and valuable example of Graves' artistic and scientific achievements. It offers a glimpse into the natural history of the past and the remarkable skill of the artists and craftsmen who documented it.
