EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print showcases the Great Tit, scientifically known as Parus major, also affectionately referred to as the Great Titmouse. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by the renowned British naturalist and artist, George Graves, in 1821. Graves was an accomplished figure in the world of natural history, excelling in various roles as a bookseller, publisher, artist, and engraver. He is best known for his work on botanical and ornithological books, and this print is a testament to his exceptional skills. The Great Tit is a small, energetic bird that is native to Europe and Asia. With its distinctive black and white head markings, bright yellow belly, and vibrant blue-gray wings, it is a beloved species among bird enthusiasts. The Great Tit's beak is large and powerful, allowing it to easily crack open seeds and nuts, making it an omnivorous bird that thrives in various habitats. This beautiful print, taken from Graves' British Ornithology, published in Walworth in 1821, captures the essence of the Great Tit's charm and beauty. The meticulous attention to detail in the plumage, beak, and eyes is truly awe-inspiring. This print not only serves as a stunning decorative piece but also as a historical record of natural history illustration during the early 19th century. With its rich history and artistic merit, this print is a must-have for any avian enthusiast or collector of historical prints.
