EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Great bustard, scientifically known as Otis tarda. The artwork was created by the British School during the 18th to 19th century and is a handcoloured woodblock engraving from "The Natural History of Birds". Published by Brightly and Childs in Bungay, Suffolk in 1815, this exquisite piece highlights the vulnerability of these magnificent birds. The Great bustard is depicted with intricate detail and vibrant colors, capturing its regal presence. This species holds great significance in ornithology and zoology due to its unique characteristics. The woodcut illustration beautifully portrays the bird's physical attributes, making it an invaluable scientific illustration. Charles Brightly established a printing and stereotype foundry in Bungay back in 1795 before partnering with John Firby Childs, a nonconformist radical printer, in 1808. Their collaboration resulted in remarkable works like this one that continue to captivate art enthusiasts today. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' collection curated by Florilegius, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural heritage. The Great bustard serves as a symbol for both conservation efforts and artistic excellence. Its portrayal evokes awe-inspiring beauty while raising awareness about protecting vulnerable species. This photograph exemplifies how art can merge with science to create something truly extraordinary—a testament to human creativity intertwined with nature's wonders.
