EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1910 showcases the enchanting beauty of a Little Grebe or Dabchick, scientifically known as Podiceps fluviatilis. The artist behind this masterpiece is George James Rankin, who skillfully captures the essence of this delightful waterfowl species. Set against a picturesque backdrop of an idyllic riverbank, the Little Grebe gracefully glides through the calm waters, its vibrant yellow plumage contrasting beautifully with the earthy brown tones of its surroundings. The image provides a fascinating study in ornithology and wildlife observation, offering viewers a glimpse into British geography and natural history during the early 20th century. Nestled amidst rushes on the lakeside, this industrious bird tends to its nest with utmost care and dedication. Its delicate egg lies nestled within, symbolizing new life and growth. Taken from "Britain's Birds and Their Nests" authored by A. Landsborough Thomson and published by The Waverley Book Company in collaboration with W. & R. Chambers Ltd. , London & Edinburgh in 1910, this print exemplifies both artistic excellence and scientific documentation. George James Rankin's watercolour portrait brings forth not only the physical attributes but also captures the spirit of these remarkable creatures that inhabit our natural world. This timeless piece serves as a testament to Sir Arthur Landsborough Thomson's commitment to promoting knowledge about Britain's avian inhabitants through his publication.
