EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty and serenity of two stunning waterfowl species, the Tufted Duck (Fuligata cristata) and the Red-Crested Pochard (Netta rufina). Created in 1900 by renowned artist Charles Whymper, this illustration is a part of The Game Birds and Wild Fowl of The British Islands, a masterpiece by Charles Dixon. In this side view portrait, we witness these magnificent birds gracefully gliding on the calm surface of a lake. Their black feathers glisten under the warm sunlight while their vibrant red crests add a striking contrast to the scene. With their yellow eyes fixed on something behind them, they exude an air of surprise and curiosity. Whymper's meticulous attention to detail brings these avian creatures to life. Every stroke showcases his expertise in capturing not only their physical features but also their essence as wildfowl dwelling in British waters. The chromolithograph technique used for this print adds depth and richness to every hue present - from the deep blacks to subtle hints of color that make up each feather pattern. This artwork serves as both an ornithological study and an artistic marvel. Preserved through time by publishers Pawson & Brailsford, Sheffield, this historical piece offers us a glimpse into Britain's natural heritage at the turn of the 20th century. It reminds us of our connection with nature and invites us to appreciate its wonders for generations to come.
