EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate print depicts the majestic Golden Eagle (Falco chryseatos, Aquila chryseatos), a bird of prey native to Eurasia and North America. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by George Graves for his seminal work, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was an accomplished artist, engraver, and colorist, whose expertise is evident in the intricate details and vibrant hues of this exquisite print. The Golden Eagle, with its golden-brown plumage, powerful build, and distinctive head crest, is a symbol of strength and grace in the natural world. With a wingspan of up to 7 feet, it is one of the largest birds of prey, and is known for its incredible hunting skills. This magnificent creature has long been a subject of fascination for naturalists, artists, and historians, and has featured prominently in mythology and folklore throughout history. Graves' meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy make this print an invaluable resource for ornithological research, as well as a beautiful work of art. The intricate engraving captures every feather and contour of the Golden Eagle's formidable physique, while the handcoloring adds depth and richness to the image. This print is a testament to Graves' skill and dedication to the natural world, and remains a stunning example of the art of handcolored copperplate engraving.
