EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph showcases a Great Northern Diver, or Common Loon (Gavia immer), taken in the early 1920s. The image, created by renowned Scottish-Canadian natural history illustrator and painter, Archibald Thorburn, offers a glimpse into the past of this iconic waterbird. The Great Northern Diver is a large, distinctive bird native to the Northern Hemisphere, with a wide distribution across the Arctic regions and northern North America. Known as the 'Common Loon' in North America, this bird is easily recognizable by its large size, black plumage, and distinctive 'yodel' call. Thorburn's masterful composition highlights the bird's elegant form, with its long, slender neck and sleek body, as it dives into the water in search of food. The photograph captures a moment of stillness before the dive, with the Great Northern Diver's piercing gaze fixed on its prey beneath the surface. This photograph is an important historical record of the Great Northern Diver, providing a window into the past and showcasing the beauty and grace of this magnificent bird. Thorburn's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image, creating a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers today. As a leading figure in the field of ornithological illustration, Thorburn's work was widely published and collected, making this photograph an invaluable addition to any collection of natural history images. This photograph not only showcases the artistry of Thorburn but also provides a fascinating insight into the natural history of the Great Northern Diver and the world of ornithology in the early 20th century.
