EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print showcases the European Nightjar, Caprimulgus europaeus, a nocturnal bird species native to Europe and Asia. The intricately detailed illustration, drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan for his Natural History of British Birds published in London between 1794 and 1819, captures the enigmatic beauty of this elusive bird. The European Nightjar is characterized by its cryptic plumage, which allows it to blend seamlessly into its nighttime surroundings. Its mottled brown and gray feathers are speckled with white and black spots, creating an almost camouflaged appearance. The bird's large, round eyes and distinctive mouth, which is lined with a thin, white border, are also visible in this illustration. European Nightjars are known for their unique hunting techniques. They are able to fly silently, making them excellent predators of insects, especially moths and beetles. They also have the ability to drop their body temperature to match the cooler night air, making it easier for them to remain still and unnoticed while they wait for their prey to come to them. This stunning print not only serves as a testament to the natural history of the European Nightjar, but also showcases the exceptional artistry of Edward Donovan. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of this elusive bird make this print a true masterpiece.
