EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment between a parent eagle-owl and its young, as the adult bird brings food to them in a coop. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, beautifully portrays the nocturnal nature of these majestic creatures. The parent owl's dedication to providing for its offspring is evident in this scene. Every night, it would venture out into the darkness and return with fresh prey such as partridge, moorfowl, and even a lamb. This remarkable behavior was inspired by an anecdote shared by mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt in Transactions of the Philosophical Society of Stockholm. The handcoloured copperplate engraving from Reverend Thomas Smith's book adds depth and vibrancy to this scientific illustration. Smith was not only a writer but also an editor who covered various subjects including natural history, religion, philosophy, ancient history, and astronomy. Through this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into the world of these magnificent birds of prey. It serves as a reminder that animals too have their own unique ways of nurturing their young and ensuring their survival.
