EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print showcases two beautiful owl species, the Tawny Owl (Strix stridula) and the Brown Owl (Strix aluco), as drawn and engraved by the accomplished George Graves in 1821. Graves, a versatile figure in the world of British natural history, was not only a bookseller and publisher but also an artist, engraver, and colorist. His works, including this one from his 'British Ornithology' series, remain valuable historical records of the natural world. The Tawny Owl, with its distinctive heart-shaped face and orange-brown feathers, is depicted perched on a tree branch, its piercing yellow eyes fixed intently on the viewer. The Brown Owl, also known as the Wood Owl, is shown in a more active pose, with its wings spread wide and its body poised for flight. The intricate details of their plumage and the lifelike quality of their expressions are a testament to Graves' skill as an artist and engraver. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural history of the early 19th century. The meticulous handcoloring adds an extra layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a true work of art. The Tawny and Brown Owls continue to fascinate ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike, and this print serves as a reminder of their enduring allure and the rich history of natural history illustration.
