EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph from the 19th century showcases the majestic Falco Candicans, also known as the Greenland Falcon. Measuring at 54.7x37.6 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an English School artist during the mid-19th century. The detailed print is a testament to the skillful artistry of John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter, who collaborated on "The Birds of Great Britain" series in London between 1862 and 1873. The image depicts a back view of three Greenland Falcons perched along a scenic coastline. The vibrant hand colouring brings these predatory birds to life, highlighting their striking features against the backdrop of nature's beauty. The close-up perspective allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail, from their unique markings to their piercing gaze. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to witness British wildlife in its natural habitat during the late 19th century. The lithographic technique used adds depth and texture to the composition while maintaining an air of elegance. This exceptional artwork captures not only the essence of these magnificent creatures but also serves as a reminder of our connection with nature throughout history. It stands as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific exploration that continues to inspire us today.
