EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print depicts the Little Grebe, Colymbus minor, Podiceps minor, or Tachybaptus ruficollis, a small and agile waterbird native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. The print was drawn and engraved by the talented George Graves for his seminal work, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was a polymath, excelling not only as a bookseller and publisher but also as an artist, engraver, and colorist. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning representation of the Little Grebe, which captures the bird's distinctive features, such as its short neck, rounded head, and red nape. The intricate engraving is further enhanced by the delicate handcoloring, which brings the plumage to life with vibrant hues. This historical print offers a glimpse into the natural world of over two centuries ago, providing a fascinating window into the past and a testament to Graves' artistic mastery.
