EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Giant owl-swallows" takes us back to the 19th century, a time when intricate illustrations like this were highly valued. The print showcases the incredible talent of an English School artist from that era. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene where giant owl-swallows dominate the foreground. These mythical creatures, with their majestic wingspans and piercing eyes, seem to have emerged from a fantastical world. Their presence evokes a sense of awe and wonder. It is worth noting that this engraving was originally created as an illustration for one of the issues of The Weekly Welcome, published by S W Partridge between 1877-1882. This adds historical significance to the artwork as it provides insight into popular publications of that time. The meticulous detail in this engraving transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its role in documenting history. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate engravings during the early 19th century. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. It serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with mythical creatures but also our enduring appreciation for art forms that transcend time and continue to captivate audiences today.
