EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the intricate details of a Sanderling (Calidris alba), a migratory wading bird belonging to the sandpiper family. The illustration is taken from Edward Donovan's "Natural History of British Birds," published in London between 1794 and 1819. Donovan, a renowned ornithologist, drew and engraved this masterpiece himself, showcasing his exceptional skills in both fields. The Sanderling is depicted in its elegant, slender form, with its long, pointed beak and delicately patterned plumage. The bird's name derives from its preference for sandy beaches, where it can be found probing the shoreline for food with its beak. The print captures the bird's intense focus as it hunts, with its head cocked to one side and its wings slightly raised. The Razorbill (Alca torda) is also featured in the background, adding another layer of interest to the print. The two birds are often found together in their coastal habitats. The Razorbill, with its distinctive black and white plumage and sharp, hooked beak, adds a striking contrast to the Sanderling. This historical illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized ornithological works of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The hand-coloring further enhances the print's beauty, bringing the intricate patterns and textures of the birds' plumage to life. This print is not only a valuable addition to any ornithological collection but also a stunning work of art that can be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities.
