EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored print depicts the Eurasian Dotterel, Charadrius morinellus, a small wading bird native to Europe, Asia, and northern Africa. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the renowned British artist, George Graves, from his own "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was an accomplished figure in the world of natural history, excelling not only as an artist and engraver but also as a bookseller and publisher. The Eurasian Dotterel is shown in its distinctive plumage, with its slender body, long legs, and a distinctive black belly and chest, contrasted by a white collar and breast band. The intricate details of the bird's feathers are beautifully captured in this copperplate engraving, which was then hand-colored using watercolors to add depth and vibrancy to the image. Graves' dedication to accuracy and attention to detail is evident in this stunning representation of the Eurasian Dotterel. His work was a testament to the importance of documenting the natural world through art and scientific illustration during the 19th century. This print is not only a valuable addition to any ornithological collection but also a testament to the artistic and scientific achievements of the time.
