EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Natural History Plate titled "Owl: The Grand Duke" from the 18th-century publication "Works of Buffon". Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite engraving captures the majestic presence of the Grand Duke owl. The intricate details and lifelike representation of this magnificent bird highlight its significance in the realm of natural history. With its piercing eyes and regal demeanor, the Grand Duke owl symbolizes wisdom and knowledge, making it a fitting subject for study and admiration. Displayed in a private collection, this historic artwork provides a glimpse into the scientific exploration that took place during the Enlightenment period. The Works of Buffon served as an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to understand and document various species found in nature. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this image beautifully preserves not only the artistry behind this engraving but also pays homage to Georges Louis Leclerc, Earl of Buffon - a prominent figure in natural history who contributed greatly to our understanding of animals and their habitats. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of both our fascination with these creatures and our ongoing quest for knowledge about our natural world.
