EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Red-billed chough, also known as Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax, a striking bird species captured by the British School in the 18th-19th century. The exquisite handcoloured woodblock engraving is part of "The Natural History of Birds" published by Brightly and Childs in Bungay, Suffolk in 1815. The Red-billed chough, often referred to as the red-legged crow or Cornish chough, is depicted with meticulous detail and vibrant colors. Its distinctive red beak and legs stand out against its sleek black plumage. This artistic representation not only captures the beauty of this avian creature but also serves as an invaluable scientific illustration for ornithology enthusiasts. Charles Brightly's printing and stereotype foundry played a significant role in producing this remarkable artwork. His partnership with John Firby Childs, a nonconformist radical printer, further enhanced their contribution to zoological studies during the Georgian and Regency eras. Displayed within this print are elements that showcase both artistry and scientific accuracy. The woodcut technique used adds depth to each feathered contour while preserving intricate details such as wing patterns and facial features. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder has expertly preserved this historical masterpiece for all to appreciate. Whether you are an admirer of natural history or simply captivated by artistic illustrations from centuries past, this print offers a glimpse into both worlds – merging
