EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print showcases the Dutch Hookbill Duck, Anas boschas var. curvirostra, a rare and intriguing waterfowl species native to the Netherlands and parts of Europe during the early 19th century. The Dutch Hookbill Duck, also known as the Holland Hookbill or Curved-billed Mallard, is depicted in meticulous detail in this beautifully crafted copperplate engraving. This image was drawn and engraved by the renowned British ornithologist, artist, engraver, and publisher, George Graves. Graves was known for his exceptional work on botanical and ornithological books, and this print is a testament to his skill and dedication. The Dutch Hookbill Duck is easily identified by its distinctive curved bill, which sets it apart from other Mallard subspecies. This unusual feature was a source of great fascination for naturalists and collectors of the time. The duck's plumage is also depicted in stunning detail, with its intricately patterned feathers showcasing a rich array of colors, from chestnut brown to iridescent green and blue. This print, which is part of Graves' "British Ornithology" series, was published in Walworth in 1821. The intricate engraving was hand-colored using watercolors, adding an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image. The result is a stunning work of art that not only captures the beauty of this rare duck species but also transports us back in time to the world of early 19th-century ornithology.
