EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Yellow finch, Fringilla butyracea, an avian species that has long been considered extinct. Created by the talented artist William Hayes in 1794, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is part of his renowned collection titled "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park". Hayes' attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he masterfully captures the delicate features and vibrant plumage of this elusive bird. The intricate patterns on its feathers are brought to life through careful shading and meticulous coloring techniques. The significance of this artwork extends beyond its artistic merit; it serves as a historical record of a species that may no longer grace our skies. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the fragility and impermanence of nature's wonders. Through its inclusion in Florilegius' collection, this print continues to inspire awe and curiosity among ornithology enthusiasts and art lovers alike. It transports us back to the 18th century when explorers embarked on daring expeditions to document Earth's diverse flora and fauna. Let us cherish this remarkable piece for what it represents – a testament to both human creativity and nature's extraordinary creations.
