EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored print depicts a Great Crested Grebe, Podiceps cristatus, in its elegant pose, drawn and engraved by the accomplished British artist, George Graves. The print is taken from his seminal work, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was a polymath of his time, excelling in various artistic and intellectual pursuits. He was not only an artist and engraver but also a bookseller and publisher. The Great Crested Grebe is a majestic waterbird, native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. With its distinctive crest, black and white plumage, and long, slender neck, it is an iconic sight in its natural habitat. Graves' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate engraving and the vibrant, lifelike colors he applied by hand. The print captures the bird's grace and poise, as it balances on the water's surface, its keen eyes scanning the surroundings for prey. Graves' work was a significant contribution to the field of ornithological illustration, providing an accurate and beautiful record of the natural world. His dedication to his craft and his innovative techniques have left a lasting legacy, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of historical natural history art.
