EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts the Whinchat, Saxicola rubetra, a small migratory bird belonging to the Old World flycatcher family. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by the accomplished George Graves for his seminal work, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was a versatile figure in the scientific community, excelling not only as a bookseller and publisher but also as an artist, engraver, and colorist. His meticulous attention to detail is evident in this stunning representation of the Whinchat. The Whinchat is a vibrant, medium-sized bird with distinctive markings, featuring a reddish-brown back, wings, and tail, contrasting with its white underparts and black mask around the eyes. The species is named for its preferred habitat, which includes open grasslands and heathlands, where it nests in burrows or abandoned rabbit warrens. This print offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Whinchat during the early 19th century, providing a valuable record of this fascinating bird species for generations to come. The intricate copperplate engraving, hand-colored by Graves himself, showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Whinchat, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical ornithological works.
