EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the Northern Harrier, Circus cyaneus, a distinctive bird of prey native to the Northern Hemisphere. The Northern Harrier, also known as the marsh hawk or circouliginosus, is characterized by its unique facial disc, which is shaped like a broad, flat face mask, and its long, broad wings. In this illustration from The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine, published in Harrison, London, around 1800, the Northern Harrier is depicted in great detail, with its sharp, curved beak and piercing eyes focused intently on its prey. The Northern Harrier is a versatile hunter, able to adapt to various habitats, from grasslands and marshes to forests and deserts. It is a diurnal bird, hunting primarily during the day, and uses its exceptional hearing and keen senses to locate prey, which includes rodents, reptiles, amphibians, and even insects. This beautiful engraving is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the natural history illustrators of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the Northern Harrier to life, offering a glimpse into the natural world of over two centuries ago. The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine was a popular publication among naturalists and collectors, and this print would have been a prized addition to any collection. Today, it serves as a reminder of the rich history of zoological illustration and the enduring fascination with the natural world.
