EDITORS COMMENTS
English tourists find themselves in a feathery frenzy as they are attacked by Northern gannets during their visit to the Orkneys. This print captures the chaotic scene, with hats and wigs flying through the air as these protective seabirds defend their nests and eggs. The image is part of a handcoloured copperplate engraving created by William Read in the 19th century for 'The Tour of Doctor Prosody', an adventurous journey through Scotland, the Hebrides, and the Orkney and Shetland Isles. In this comical illustration, even Doctor Prosody himself falls victim to an attack by Soland fowl. This whimsical caricature showcases both the picturesque landscapes of the Orkneys and its wildlife inhabitants. The artist's attention to detail brings out every feather on these majestic birds while adding a touch of humor to this picaresque travel tale. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we can't help but imagine ourselves transported back in time, witnessing firsthand how nature's creatures fiercely protect what is theirs. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our travels and adventures, we must always respect and appreciate the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. So let us marvel at this extraordinary moment frozen in time – English tourists caught off guard by Northern gannets' unexpected defense mechanism – reminding us that sometimes nature has its own way of asserting dominance.
