EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored print showcases the Bearded Reedling, Panurus biarmicus, also known as the Northern Fulmar or the Sea Fulmar. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by George Graves, a remarkable figure in the world of 19th-century natural history. Graves was a polymath, excelling in various fields including bookselling, publishing, art, and engraving. He is best known for his contributions to botanical and ornithological illustrations. The Bearded Reedling is a seabird that is well adapted to life in the North Atlantic. Its distinctive appearance is characterized by a long, hooked beak and a shaggy, beard-like growth around its face. This bird is a member of the fulmar family, which also includes the Fulmarus glacialis, or the Common Fulmar. Graves's illustration of the Bearded Reedling is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication. The copperplate engraving captures the intricate details of the bird's plumage and anatomy, while the vibrant hand-coloring brings the image to life. The print is taken from Graves's seminal work, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. This publication was a significant contribution to the field of ornithology, providing an accurate and detailed record of the birds of Britain and Ireland at a time when natural history was a burgeoning scientific discipline. The Bearded Reedling continues to be an intriguing subject for ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts alike. Graves's illustration stands as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the artistic and scientific achievements of the past.
