EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two remarkable bird species - the Long-tailed paradise whydah and the Rufous hummingbird. The Long-tailed paradise whydah, scientifically known as Vidua paradisaea, is a stunning bird with its long tail feathers that gracefully trail behind it. Its vibrant plumage and elegant form make it a true spectacle to behold. In contrast, the Rufous hummingbird, or Selasphorus rufus, captivates with its small size but bold colors. With its reddish-brown plumage and iridescent throat patch, this tiny creature is a symbol of energy and vitality in the avian world. The handcoloured woodblock engraving used for this print was created by George Edwards in 1815 as part of his renowned work "The Natural History of Birds". This masterpiece captures not only the physical attributes of these birds but also their essence and spirit. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a realm where nature's wonders unfold before our eyes. The intricate details meticulously captured by Edwards allow us to appreciate the diversity and splendor found within our natural world. This print serves as a reminder that even in an age dominated by technology, there is still immense value in preserving art forms that celebrate nature's creations. It invites us to pause for a moment and marvel at the extraordinary creatures that share our planet while inspiring us to protect them for future generations to enjoy.
