EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "Sombre Sabre-wing (Campylopterus Obscurus)" by John Gould, transports us to the world of ornithology. The intricate details and vibrant hues bring this magnificent bird to life on paper. Gould's work is renowned for its accuracy and attention to detail, making it a valuable resource for bird enthusiasts and researchers alike. This particular print is part of his iconic series, "The Birds of Great Britain" which was printed in London between 1862 and 1873. The Sombre Sabre-wing takes center stage in this composition, showcasing its unique features with elegance and grace. Its long sabre-like wings are beautifully depicted, capturing the essence of this species' distinct characteristics. Displayed against a neutral background, the bird's plumage stands out vibrantly - a testament to both Gould's artistic skill and the beauty found in nature itself. This print is an exquisite example of Gould's contribution to ornithological illustration during the Victorian era. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with birds throughout history and their enduring appeal as subjects for art.
