EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty of a Common Kestrel, scientifically known as Falco tinnunculus. The image is a handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving created by Edward Donovan for his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds" published in London between 1794 and 1819. Edward Donovan, an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver, dedicated his life to studying and documenting various species of birds, fish, shells, and insects. His passion for natural history led him to establish his own museum in London. However, despite his initial success, Donovan eventually faced financial hardships that left him destitute. In this particular artwork depicting the Common Kestrel with intricate detail and vibrant colors applied by hand coloring techniques on copperplate engravings - we witness both the artistic talent of Donovan as well as the majesty of this bird species. The kestrel's distinctive features are beautifully captured: its elegant plumage adorned with shades of brown and cream feathers; its sharp beak poised for hunting prey; and its piercing eyes focused intently on something beyond our view. Through this photograph print from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images - we not only appreciate the aesthetic appeal but also gain insight into the life story behind it. It serves as a reminder that even though Edward Donovan faced adversity in his later years, he left behind a remarkable legacy through his contributions to natural history illustration.
