EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Great Bustard (Otis tarda), 1900" transports us back to the turn of the 20th century. Created by the talented artist Charles Whymper, this illustration is part of a larger collection called The Game Birds and Wild Fowl of The British Islands, written by Charles Dixon. In this stunning image, we see a side view of a majestic Great Bustard standing proudly on a beach. Its rich brown plumage and intricate feather patterns are beautifully captured in Whymper's chromolithograph technique. The bird's long tail feathers gracefully fan out behind it, adding to its regal appearance. The setting is idyllic - with grassy dunes leading up to the sparkling sea in the background. This portrayal perfectly showcases both the geographical features and wildlife that make Britain so unique. Whiskers protrude from either side of the Great Bustard's beak, giving it an almost wise expression. Its profile highlights its strong beak and sturdy build, emphasizing its status as one of Britain's game birds. This print not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also offers valuable insights into ornithology during that era. It is a testament to Charles Whymper's skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving this remarkable piece from Pawson & Brailsford publishers' archives for us all to appreciate today.
