EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print, titled Large Series plate 6, is a captivating illustration from the John Reeves Collection of Zoological Drawings from Canton, China. Dated back to the 19th century, this artwork showcases an intriguing assemblage of various birds, with the Pluvalis squatarola, or the Grey Owl, taking center stage. Perched on a mottled branch, the Grey Owl's distinctive features are on full display - its large, yellow eyes piercingly gazing forward, its ear tufts standing tall, and its brown, mottled plumage providing excellent camouflage in its woodland habitat. Flanking the Grey Owl are two other fascinating avian species. To its left, a Grey Plover, Charadrius squatarola, is depicted with its long, slender beak and black belly contrasting against its grey feathers. This Charadriiforme bird is known for its distinctive call and long-distance migration. To the right, another owl species, likely a Barn Owl or Tyto alba, is shown with its heart-shaped face and distinctive ear tufts. This nocturnal bird of prey is a master of stealth and agility, making it a formidable hunter in the night. This exquisite artwork, with its meticulous attention to detail and anatomical accuracy, offers a glimpse into the natural history of Asia during the 19th century. The intricately rendered feathers, beaks, and eyes of these birds reveal the artist's mastery of the medium and their deep appreciation for the natural world. This illustration remains an essential addition to any collection of natural history art or ornithological studies.
