EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithographed plate from 1873 showcases the incredible talent of British artist John Gould. Titled "Illustration of Falcons" this print is part of his renowned work, "The Birds of Great Britain". Measuring 55x36 cm, it depicts three falcons perched on a shoreline overlooking the sea. Gould's attention to detail and mastery in capturing the beauty of these birds is evident in every stroke. The hand colouring adds depth and vibrancy to their feathers, making them come alive on paper. The white background enhances their presence, allowing us to focus solely on their majestic forms. Set against the backdrop of a coastal landscape, this illustration transports us to a time when falcons ruled the skies. Their predatory nature is subtly conveyed through their focused gaze and poised stance. It's as if they are ready to take flight at any moment. As we admire this piece, we can't help but marvel at Gould's ability to capture not only the physical characteristics but also the essence and spirit of these magnificent creatures. This print serves as a testament to his contribution in advancing ornithological studies through art. Now preserved in a private collection, this rare gem offers us an opportunity to appreciate both Gould's artistic prowess and our natural world's diversity. It reminds us that even centuries later, his work continues to inspire awe and fascination among art enthusiasts and bird lovers alike.
