EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving titled "Raven: Great Corbie Crow (Corvus Corax), 1835" by Charlotte L. E. Perrott. The artwork, measuring 50x32.5 cm, is part of a private collection and depicts the majestic Raven in all its glory. The image captures the essence of British wildlife during the early nineteenth century, with intricate details brought to life through hand colouring. The artist's skillful rendering highlights the bird's sleek black feathers against a backdrop of thistles and plants. With no human presence in sight, this close-up view allows us to appreciate the beauty of this European passerine from a unique perspective. The raven stands tall and proud, looking back over its shoulder as if aware of our gaze. Engraved by Robert Havell after Perrott's original work, this piece was published in London in 1835 and has since become an iconic representation of avian artistry from that era. The combination of meticulous craftsmanship and vibrant colours makes this print truly mesmerizing. It transports us back to a time when nature was celebrated through artistic expression, reminding us of the timeless allure found within our natural world. This photograph serves as a testament to both British art history and ornithology enthusiasts alike who can now admire it thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art for future generations.
