EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 38 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841): A Striking Portrayal of the Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo) This exquisite watercolor illustration, Plate 38 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841), showcases the captivating features of the Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo). MacGillivray, a renowned Scottish naturalist and ornithologist, meticulously captured the intricate details of this enigmatic bird, making this illustration an invaluable contribution to the art of ornithology during the 19th century. The Eurasian Eagle-Owl, also known as the European Eagle-Owl or simply the Eagle-Owl, is a large and powerful bird of prey belonging to the Strigiformes order and the Accipitridae family. In this illustration, the owl's regal presence is conveyed through its piercing golden eyes, which seem to gaze intently at the viewer, and its distinctive facial disc, which is marked by a series of concentric rings. The owl's beak is hooked and powerful, perfectly suited for tearing into the flesh of its prey. The Eurasian Eagle-Owl's plumage is predominantly brown, with distinctive white spots on its wings and a heart-shaped marking on its chest. The owl is perched on a branch, its feathers ruffled slightly, giving the impression of a wild and untamed creature. The illustration also reveals the presence of a small horn-like projection above each eye, which is a characteristic feature of this species. MacGillivray's illustration is a testament to the artist's skill and dedication to accurately depicting the natural world. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy and appearance of the Eurasian Eagle-Owl, which continues to captivate and inspire ornithologists and natural history enthusiasts to this day.
