EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Gannet, 1799" takes us back in time to the 18th century. Created by Moses Griffiths for Thomas Pennant's book "A Tour in Scotland" this illustration showcases a majestic seabird known as the Gannet. Its elegant feathers and webbed feet are beautifully depicted, highlighting its grace both on land and in water. The image transports us to the rugged landscapes of Scotland, where these British birds find their natural habitat. The Gannet's presence symbolizes the rich wildlife that can be found across England's countryside, reminding us of the importance of preserving our natural heritage. Published in 1946 as part of R. M. Lockley's book "Islands Round Britain" this engraving captures not only the beauty of nature but also provides insight into social history during that era. It serves as a testament to William Collins & Sons' commitment to showcasing Britain's diverse flora and fauna through their renowned series "Britain in Pictures". Ronald Mathias Lockley curated this remarkable collection, which included works from talented artists like Moses Griffiths. Through his meticulous attention to detail, Griffiths brings alive an enchanting moment frozen in time. As we admire this stunning print today, let it serve as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and cherish our natural world for generations to come.
