EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving depicts the vibrant and intricately patterned Cut-throat Finch, Amadina fasciata. The Cut-throat Finch, also known as the Ribbon Finch or Bengala Finch, is a native bird of Western Africa. The illustration is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, published in Edinburgh by William Lizars in 1837. The illustration was created by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, William John Swainson. The Cut-throat Finch is easily identified by its distinctive red wings and the black and white markings on its face, giving it the appearance of having a 'cut-throat'. The bird is perched on a branch, displaying its elegant posture and striking plumage. The intricate details of the feathers and the texture of the branch are beautifully captured in the hand-coloring, adding depth and dimension to the image. The Cut-throat Finch is a social bird that is often found in large flocks. They feed primarily on seeds and grains, but will also consume insects and other small invertebrates. These birds are popular among birdwatchers and collectors due to their unique appearance and interesting behavior. This engraving is a testament to the exceptional artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, providing a glimpse into the natural world of Western Africa during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a stunning addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology prints.
