EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print depicts the Northern Fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis, a seabird native to the North Atlantic Ocean. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by the accomplished British artist, George Graves, and published in his ornithological work, "British Ornithology," in Walworth, 1821. Graves was a versatile figure in the scientific community, serving not only as a bookseller and publisher but also as an artist, engraver, and colorist. His expertise in multiple fields allowed him to produce works of exceptional quality, as evidenced in this stunning representation of the Northern Fulmar. The Northern Fulmar is a pelagic seabird, known for its distinctive appearance and ability to fly underwater for extended periods. The bird's plumage is predominantly grayish-brown, with white underparts and a black cap covering its head. The print captures the intricate details of the Northern Fulmar's feathers, beak, and eyes, providing an accurate and visually appealing representation of this fascinating bird. Graves' dedication to his craft is evident in the delicate hand-coloring, which adds depth and vibrancy to the print. The use of copperplate engraving further enhances the image's detail and clarity. This print is not only a testament to Graves' artistic skill but also serves as an important historical record of the Northern Fulmar and the natural world during the early 19th century.
