EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored copperplate print showcases the elegant beauty of the Glossy Ibis (Plegadis falcinellus), a wading bird native to Europe, Asia, and Africa. The print, drawn and engraved by the renowned Irish naturalist and artist Edward Donovan for his seminal work "A Natural History of British Birds," published in London between 1794 and 1819, captures the intricate details of the Glossy Ibis's distinctive plumage. The Glossy Ibis derives its name from the iridescent, almost metallic sheen of its feathers, which are particularly noticeable on the wings and neck. In this exquisite illustration, Donovan masterfully conveys the bird's glossy plumage, as well as its long, downcurved bill and slender, elegant legs. The Glossy Ibis is a wading bird that inhabits marshes, wetlands, and shallow waters. It is an omnivorous species, feeding on a variety of aquatic and terrestrial organisms, including insects, crustaceans, mollusks, and small vertebrates. Donovan's Natural History of British Birds was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of over 400 species. The publication of this work marked a significant milestone in the history of natural history, as it represented one of the most comprehensive and accurate records of British birds at the time. Today, this handcolored copperplate print serves as a testament to Donovan's artistic and scientific achievements, as well as to the natural beauty of the Glossy Ibis and the rich biodiversity of our planet.
