EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts the Northern Harrier, or Blue Hawk (Circus cyaneus), as beautifully rendered by the skilled hands of George Graves in 1821. A British bookseller, publisher, artist, and engraver, Graves was a prominent figure in the world of ornithological illustration during the early 19th century. The Northern Harrier, a bird of prey native to the Northern Hemisphere, is distinguished by its unique facial disc, which helps it to locate prey by sound, and its distinctive cry, which resembles a barking dog. In this meticulously detailed print, Graves captures the bird's striking features, from its blue-gray plumage to its long, broad wings and distinctive crested head. Graves' work on this print was part of his contributions to British Ornithology, a comprehensive and influential work on the birds of Britain and its colonies. The print was produced using the copperplate engraving technique, which involved creating an image on a copper plate, etching the lines, and then applying color by hand. The result is a vibrant and lifelike representation of the Northern Harrier that transports us back in time to the early 1800s. This print is a testament to Graves' artistic skill and dedication to the study of natural history. It is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing both the beauty of the Northern Harrier and the artistry of a masterful illustrator.
