EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving depicts the vibrant and distinctive Yellow-crowned Bishop, also known as the Napoleon Weaver or the Yellow-crowned Weaver (Euplectes afer, Ploceus flaviceps), native to Western Africa. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1837. The illustration is the work of skilled engraver William Lizars, based on the original watercolor painting by renowned naturalist and artist William Swainson. The Yellow-crowned Bishop is a medium-sized, colorful weaver bird, with a bright yellow crown, black mask, and chestnut-colored underparts. The male's long, curved bill is a striking feature, as is the elaborate plumage of the female, which is predominantly brown with a yellow belly and a black mask. These birds are found in savannas, grasslands, and woodlands, and are known for their intricate woven nests, which they build using grasses, twigs, and other plant materials. The Yellow-crowned Bishop is an important species in the avian community of Western Africa, and its inclusion in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library reflects the growing interest in the natural history of the region during the 19th century. This exquisite hand-colored steel engraving is a testament to the meticulous detail and artistry of the time, and remains an essential record of this beautiful and fascinating bird species.
