EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Wattled Jacana, scientifically known as Jacana jacana. The image is a reproduction of an original handcoloured copperplate engraving by George Edwards, a renowned ornithologist from the 18th century. The Wattled Jacana is depicted gracefully standing on water lilies with its distinctive long legs and vibrant plumage. Its name originates from the fleshy wattles that hang down from its beak, adding to its unique appearance. This species is also commonly referred to as the Spur-winged Water Hen or simply Jacana. The artwork was originally featured in Samuel Galton Jr. 's "Natural History of Birds" published in London in 1791. This educational book aimed to entertain and enlighten children with various facts about birds gathered from different writers. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical piece, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic talent of George Edwards and the natural wonders he sought to capture. The fine details and vivid colors make it a perfect addition for any bird enthusiast's collection. This print serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse avian inhabitants while honoring centuries-old scientific contributions that continue to inspire generations today.
