EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored print depicts the enigmatic Wryneck, Jynx torquilla, a small, elusive bird belonging to the kingfisher family. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by George Graves, a versatile English artist and publisher, for his seminal work "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves was a polymath, excelling not only as an artist and engraver but also as a colorist, as evidenced by the rich hues and intricate details in this print. The Wryneck, with its distinctive neck that can twist almost 180 degrees, is shown perched on a twig, its beady eyes scanning the ground for prey. This historical print not only showcases the natural beauty of this fascinating bird but also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of early 19th-century ornithological illustration.
