EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty of two stunning bird species, the Grey Plover (Squatarola helvetica) and the Golden Plover (Charadrius pluvialus), in a mesmerizing display of nature's artistry. Created by renowned artist Charles Whymper in 1900, this illustration is part of "The Game Birds and Wild Fowl of The British Islands" collection, authored by Charles Dixon. In this side view portrait, we witness these avian wonders on a sandy beach during low tide. Their intricate patterns and vibrant plumage are showcased against the backdrop of gently rolling waves. With wings spread wide, one can almost hear their calls carried by the sea breeze. Whymper's attention to detail brings these birds to life as they gracefully navigate their natural habitat. The contrasting colors and delicate markings highlight their distinctive features while emphasizing their harmonious existence within Britain's diverse wildlife. As we gaze upon this century-old chromolithograph, we are transported back to an era when ornithology was blossoming as a scientific discipline. This image serves as a testament to both Whymper's artistic talent and his dedication to capturing the essence of these magnificent creatures. Thanks to publishers Pawson & Brailsford for preserving this remarkable piece that showcases not only our fascination with wildfowl but also our deep appreciation for nature's wonders.
