EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Icelandic Gyrfalcon, captured in all its glory in 1864. The German School of the 19th century masterfully created this colour lithograph, which is now part of a private collection. The image is taken from "A Bilder-Atlas zur wissenschaftlich-populären Naturgeschichte der Vögel in ihren sämtlichen Hauptformen" a publication by Leopold Joseph Fitzinger. This comprehensive atlas was published in 1864 and aimed to provide scientific and popular knowledge about birds. In this particular illustration, we can see two magnificent bird species: the Icelandic Gyrfalcon and the common kestrel. The Icelandic Gyrfalcon, also known as Hierofalco islandicus, stands out with its regal presence and striking plumage. Its powerful gaze captures our attention while showcasing its hunting prowess. The intricate details of both birds are brought to life through the skilful use of color lithography techniques employed by the German School artists. Every feather seems to come alive on paper, making us appreciate nature's beauty even more. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into ornithology during that era. It reminds us of the importance of preserving these incredible creatures for future generations to admire and study. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical artwork, allowing us to marvel at these remarkable avian species centuries later.
