EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pencil and monochrome wash illustration depicts the European Green Woodpecker, Picus viridis, sketched from life by the skilled hand of Frederick William Frohawk around the turn of the 20th century. The illustration captures the intricate details of the bird's distinctive features, from its vibrant green plumage to its distinctive red crest and moustache-like markings. The illustration also reveals the bird's long, pointed bill, which it uses for drilling into trees and the ground in search of insects and larvae. Frohawk, a renowned ornithological artist, captured this image through a telescope, adding an extra layer of detail and precision to his work. The Sauropsida, or reptile-descended, bird belongs to the Piciformes order and the Picidae family, and is commonly known as the Green Woodpecker or the Yaffle. This bird is native to Europe and is easily recognizable due to its unique appearance and behavior. Jonathan Elphick, the publisher of this image, was a prominent figure in the world of ornithology during the early 20th century. He was dedicated to documenting and preserving the natural world through high-quality illustrations. Frohawk's work, with its meticulous attention to detail and lifelike accuracy, was a valuable addition to Elphick's extensive collection. This illustration is a testament to the art of ornithology and the dedication of those who have spent their lives studying and documenting the natural world. Frohawk's work continues to inspire and educate us about the diverse and fascinating world of birds, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting these precious creatures for future generations.
