EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Green Woodpecker, captured in 1852 and reproduced in 1942. The creators behind this remarkable piece are Francis Orpen Morris and Richard Alington, who collaborated on "History of British Birds" published within "The Birds of Britain" by James Fisher. The image transports us to the English countryside, where this magnificent bird resides. Its vibrant plumage is a testament to nature's artistry, with shades of green blending harmoniously with its surroundings. The woodpecker's beak stands out prominently, perfectly adapted for drilling into tree trunks in search of insects. As we delve into the history surrounding this print, it becomes evident that it holds significance not only as an artistic representation but also as a scientific document. It serves as a valuable resource for zoologists and ornithologists studying avian species during the 19th and 20th centuries. Beyond its scientific value, this print offers glimpses into social history. Published by William Collins & Sons under their series "Britain in Pictures" it reflects how wildlife appreciation was intertwined with cultural heritage during the mid-20th century. In essence, this print encapsulates both natural beauty and historical importance. It invites us to marvel at the wonders of British birds while reminding us of our connection to the past through art and science.
