EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print showcases the captivating Long-eared Owl, Asio otus, as drawn and engraved by the versatile George Graves in 1821. Graves, an English bookseller, publisher, artist, and engraver, was renowned for his exceptional work on botanical and ornithological books. This particular image was produced as part of his significant contribution to British Ornithology. The Long-eared Owl, named for its distinctive ear tufts that resemble ears, is a nocturnal bird of prey native to the Northern Hemisphere. With its large, golden eyes and dark, speckled plumage, this owl is expertly camouflaged against the forest floor, making it an elusive and intriguing creature. The intricate detail in this print is a testament to Graves' masterful skill as an engraver and colorist. Each feather on the owl's body is meticulously rendered, and the naturalistic colors bring the bird to life. The background, featuring a wooded landscape, further emphasizes the owl's habitat and adds to the overall beauty of the print. Graves' work during the early 19th century was groundbreaking, as he was one of the first to employ handcoloring techniques to enhance the detail and accuracy of engraved prints. His dedication to capturing the natural world in such intricate detail has left us with a lasting legacy in the form of stunning, historical images like this one. This Long-eared Owl print is a rare and valuable piece of ornithological history, offering a glimpse into the natural world as it was understood over 200 years ago.
