EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the vibrant beauty of the Black-winged red bishop, also known as the Crimson-crowned weaver. Created by renowned artist William Home Lizars in 1837, this handcoloured steel engraving showcases the intricate details and vivid colors of this remarkable bird. The Black-winged red bishop, scientifically named Euplectes hordeaceus (or Euplectes flammiceps), is a species native to Western Africa. Its striking crimson crown and black wings make it a truly captivating sight in its natural habitat. This print allows us to appreciate its elegance up close. William John Swainson's illustration served as the inspiration for Lizars' work, which was featured in Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology. The collaboration between these talented individuals resulted in an exquisite portrayal of this African avian wonder. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of Africa's diverse landscapes, including sea birds and fowls, this print transports us into the realm of wildlife animals. It serves as a reminder of nature's extraordinary creations and our responsibility to protect them.
