EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate print depicts the Common Moorhen, Gallinula chloropus, a wading bird native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by the versatile George Graves in 1821 for his work, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth. Graves was an accomplished artist, engraver, and colorist, whose expertise in various creative fields is evident in this exquisite piece. The Common Moorhen is shown in its natural habitat, standing confidently on a lily pad in a serene pond. With its long, slender legs and distinctive red knob on its bill, this bird is a captivating sight. The vibrant colors of the print bring the Moorhen to life, with its green and brown plumage beautifully rendered. Graves' dedication to accuracy and attention to detail is evident in the intricate engraving and delicate handcoloring. The background features a variety of aquatic plants and flowers, adding to the overall beauty and realism of the print. As a bookseller, publisher, and artist, Graves made significant contributions to the fields of botanical and ornithological illustration. His work on "British Ornithology" showcases his exceptional talent and passion for capturing the natural world in all its splendor. This print is a testament to Graves' skill and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the Common Moorhen and its habitat.
