EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving captures the beauty of the African blue-flycatcher, also known as Elminia longicauda or Caerulean flycatcher. The intricate details in this illustration, created by William Lizars after an original by William Swainson, showcase the elegant plumage and delicate features of this bird.
The African blue-flycatcher is a species that can be found in various regions across Africa, known for its striking blue and white coloration. Its long tail feathers add to its graceful appearance as it flits through the trees in search of insects to feed on.
This print is part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology series, a collection that highlights the diversity and beauty of birds from around the world. The collaboration between Lizars and Swainson has resulted in a masterpiece that not only serves as a scientific study but also as a work of art.
As you admire this exquisite engraving, you can almost hear the gentle chirping of the African blue-flycatcher echoing through dense forests. It serves as a reminder of the wonders of nature and the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations to enjoy.
