EDITORS COMMENTS
Common Curlew (Numenius arquata), 1851 by John Gould and Edward Lear (Morris) This exquisite print of the Common Curlew (Numenius arquata) dates back to 1851 and was created by the renowned collaborative duo of John Gould and Edward Lear. The Common Curlew, also known as the Eurasian Curlew, is a large wading bird that can be found in Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. Known for its distinctive long, downward-curved beak, this bird is a prominent member of the shoreline ecosystem, feeding on invertebrates and other small organisms. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this print are a testament to the exceptional skill of both John Gould and Edward Lear. John Gould was a leading English publisher and printmaker, whose work was renowned for its high-quality production values and wide-ranging subject matter. Edward Lear, on the other hand, was a celebrated artist, illustrator, and author, best known for his whimsical limericks and illustrations of animals. This particular print is part of Gould's "Birds of Europe with Descriptive Text" series, which aimed to provide an accurate and detailed record of the birds of Europe for scientific and artistic purposes. The print is accompanied by a descriptive text that provides valuable information about the Common Curlew's physical characteristics, habitat, and behavior. The Common Curlew's striking appearance and evocative call make it a beloved bird among birdwatchers and naturalists. Its long, curved beak is not only an adaptation for feeding but also an iconic feature that has captured the imagination of artists and writers throughout history. This beautiful print serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Common Curlew and the artistry of John Gould and Edward Lear.
