EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts the Grey or English Partridge, Tetrao perdix, Perdix perdix, a native game bird of Europe. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by George Graves in 1821, during the height of his prolific career as a bookseller, publisher, artist, and engraver. Graves' work on botanical and ornithological books was highly regarded for its accuracy and beauty. The Grey Partridge is a ground-dwelling bird with a distinctive appearance, characterized by its greyish-brown plumage, black and white stripes on its sides, and a red-brown head. It was a popular game bird in Europe, and its image graced many a nobleman's estate as a symbol of hunting prowess. This particular print is a masterpiece of the copperplate engraving and handcoloring techniques. The intricate lines and shading of the engraving are brought to life with vibrant, naturalistic colors, creating a stunning visual representation of the Grey Partridge. The background is adorned with delicate foliage and berries, adding to the overall beauty and realism of the image. Graves' work on this print is a testament to his skill and dedication to the natural world. His meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy make this a valuable historical artifact, not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its scientific significance. This print is a reminder of the rich history of ornithological illustration and the important role it played in documenting and preserving the natural world for future generations.
