EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving showcases the majestic Eurasian Eagle-owl, Bubo bubo, also known as the Great Eared-owl or Bubo maximus. The image is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and artistry of 19th-century ornithological illustration, taken from Georg Friedrich Treitschke's Gallery of Natural History, Naturhistorischer Bildersaal des Thierreiches, published in Leipzig in 1842. The Eurasian Eagle-owl is a large and powerful bird of prey, native to the Old World. With its distinctive ear tufts, large yellow eyes, and broad, wingspan, it is a formidable and striking creature. This owl is a versatile hunter, preying on a variety of animals, including rodents, rabbits, and even smaller birds. The engraving captures the owl's intense gaze and sharp, curved beak, which are well-suited to its predatory lifestyle. The intricate feather detailing on the owl's body and wings is also expertly rendered, highlighting the beauty and complexity of this bird's plumage. The background of the engraving features a rocky landscape, adding to the sense of wildness and natural setting that is so essential to the owl's habitat. The use of handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Eurasian Eagle-owl to life in a way that a print could not. This engraving is not only a beautiful work of art, but also an important record of natural history. It provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Eurasian Eagle-owl as it was known in the mid-19th century, making it a valuable resource for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike.
