EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of two remarkable bird species, the Common Pratincole and the Sociable Lapwing. Created in 1900 by renowned artist Charles Whymper, this illustration is part of a larger collection titled "The Game Birds and Wild Fowl of The British Islands" by Charles Dixon. In this particular image, we are treated to a side view of these magnificent birds as they gracefully soar through the open sky. Their wings outstretched, they navigate effortlessly above a picturesque beach, their feathers glistening in the warm sunlight. The sandy dunes below provide an idyllic backdrop for these avian wonders. Both species are native to Britain and represent an integral part of its rich wildlife heritage. The brown plumage with intricate patterns adorning their bodies adds to their allure. As wading birds known for their distinctive calls, they bring life and vibrancy to coastal areas across the country. Charles Whymper's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, capturing not only the physical characteristics but also conveying a sense of movement and freedom that defines these creatures' existence. This chromolithograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable resource for ornithologists studying these fascinating game birds. Preserved over time thanks to publishers Pawson & Brailsford, this print allows us to appreciate nature's marvels while paying homage to Charles Whymper's talent as an illustrator. It stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife throughout history
