EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ptarmigan (Lagopus mutus), 1900" takes us back to the early 20th century and immerses us in the enchanting world of British wildlife. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Charles Whymper, whose incredible talent for capturing nature's beauty shines through in every brushstroke. In this side view portrait, we see a Ptarmigan perched on a hillside amidst a snowy landscape. The bird's white plumage blends seamlessly with its surroundings, creating an ethereal scene that evokes both tranquility and resilience. As snowflakes gently fall from the sky, the Ptarmigan patiently waits, showcasing its adaptability to harsh weather conditions. Whymper's skillful illustration brings out intricate details of the bird's profile – from its delicate feathers to its piercing gaze. Through his chromolithograph technique, he expertly captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys a sense of awe-inspiring wilderness. This print is part of "The Game Birds and Wild Fowl of The British Islands" collection by Charles Dixon – an invaluable resource for ornithology enthusiasts and lovers of British geography alike. Published by Pawson & Brailsford in Sheffield in 1900, it stands as a testament to Whymper's artistic prowess and Dixon's dedication to documenting Britain's diverse avian species. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us appreciate the harmony between nature and art
