EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored print depicts the Ash-coloured Falcon, Falco cineraceus, also known as Montague's Harrier or Circus cineraceus. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the renowned British naturalist and artist, George Graves, in 1821. Graves was an accomplished figure in the world of ornithology, holding various titles such as bookseller, publisher, artist, and engraver. He is best known for his contributions to the field through his intricately detailed works, including this stunning representation of the Ash-coloured Falcon. The Ash-coloured Falcon is a bird of prey native to Africa and southern Europe. With its distinctive ash-grey plumage and black wings, this falcon is a sight to behold. The image captures the bird in mid-flight, its sharp eyes focused intently on its prey below. The intricate details of the feathers, the curves of the wings, and the delicate shading of the colors all serve to bring the bird to life. Graves' work was produced during a time when the study of natural history was a burgeoning field, and his contributions were instrumental in advancing the understanding of the natural world. This print is a testament to his skill and dedication, providing a window into the past and offering a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the natural world as it was known over two centuries ago.
