EDITORS COMMENTS
The Swan, Goose and Duck, c1850" is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The central image portrays three distinct birds - a swan, goose, and duck - each exuding its unique charm. Surrounding this centerpiece are several vignettes that offer glimpses into the manifold utility of these avian creatures. From geese in a lively farmyard to shooting wild ducks for sustenance, every aspect of their existence finds representation in this remarkable artwork. The intricate details capture various facets such as goose quills used for writing pens and handles crafted for artists' brushes. Feather mattresses symbolize comfort while swans and ducks gracefully glide on a pond at the Ornithological Society's premises in Regents Park, London. The print also highlights how these magnificent birds contribute to society's needs and desires during the Victorian era. Geese at markets signify their significance as food sources while swansdown becomes fashionable trimmings adorning clothing accessories. This comprehensive portrayal reflects not only the agricultural importance but also the cultural relevance of these feathered creatures. Hawkins' lithograph transports us back to 19th-century Britain where hunting wildfowl was an integral part of life for many individuals known as wildfowlers or hunters. It offers a glimpse into Royal Ornithological Society's endeavors within Regents Park, London – an institution dedicated to studying bird species. This stunning piece encapsulates both natural beauty and human interaction with nature through its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. It serves as a testament to Hawkins' talent as well as his collaboration with Thomas Varty in publishing "Graphic Illustrations of Animals and Their Utility to Man.
