EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print depicts the Long-tailed Duck, Clangula hyemalis, a vulnerable waterfowl species native to the Northern Hemisphere. The intricate illustration was drawn and engraved by the renowned Irish naturalist and artist, Edward Donovan, for his seminal work, "The Natural History of British Birds," published in London between 1794 and 1819. The Long-tailed Duck is characterized by its distinctive long, slender tail, which can be seen extended in this illustration. This feature, along with its black and white plumage and yellow eyes, makes it an easily recognizable species in the avian world. The Long-tailed Duck is a highly adaptable bird, able to thrive in both freshwater and saltwater environments, and is known for its ability to dive deep beneath the surface of the water to feed on mollusks, crustaceans, and other aquatic organisms. Despite its striking appearance and unique characteristics, the Long-tailed Duck is considered vulnerable due to population declines caused by habitat loss, hunting, and climate change. The species is currently listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, making it an important focus for conservation efforts. This beautiful and historically significant print not only showcases the natural beauty of the Long-tailed Duck but also highlights the importance of documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations. The intricate details of the engraving and the vibrant colors of the hand-coloring process make this a true work of art, and a valuable addition to any collection of ornithological or historical prints.
