EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Olive bushshrike, also known as Chlorophoneus olivaceus or Large grey-headed bush shirke, Malaconutus olivaceus. The image is a handcoloured steel engraving created by William Lizars and based on an illustration by William John Swainson from his renowned work "Birds of Western Africa". The bird depicted in this artwork belongs to the Laniidae family and can be found in various regions of Africa. Its distinct olive plumage beautifully contrasts with its large grey head, making it a truly mesmerizing sight. William Lizars' attention to detail is evident in this exquisite piece. Every feather seems to come alive through the delicate strokes of color, adding depth and dimension to the composition. The artist's dedication to capturing the essence of these magnificent creatures is commendable. This print serves as a testament to Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, where it was featured back in 1837. It stands as a timeless representation of African wildlife and contributes greatly to our understanding and appreciation for birds native to Western Africa.
