EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Golden eagle, Aquila chrysaetos, in all its glory. The image captures the essence of this magnificent bird, known as the Eagle of the Sun. Handcoloured with meticulous detail, it brings to life every feather and feature of this regal creature. The woodblock engraving is a testament to the artistry and skill of British School from the 18th-19th century. Published in 1815 as part of "The Natural History of Birds" by Brightly and Childs, this piece exemplifies scientific illustration at its finest. Charles Brightly's printing and stereotype foundry in Bungay played a significant role in bringing forth such remarkable works. Teaming up with John Firby Childs, they created a partnership that allowed for groundbreaking publications like this one. This print not only serves as an ornithological masterpiece but also offers insight into Georgian and Regency-era art. Its historical significance cannot be understated, providing us with a glimpse into both zoology and artistic techniques prevalent during that time. As we admire this stunning portrayal of nature's beauty, let us appreciate how art can transcend time and bring us closer to understanding our natural world. This print by Bridgeman Images reminds us why scientific illustrations continue to captivate audiences even centuries later.
