EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print depicts the Hen Harrier, Circus cyaneus, a bird of prey native to Europe and Asia. The illustration is taken from Edward Donovan's "Natural History of British Birds," published in London between 1794 and 1819. Donovan, an accomplished artist and ornithologist, drew and engraved this image himself, showcasing his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The Hen Harrier is a medium-sized bird with a distinctive appearance, characterized by its rust-colored, speckled plumage, long wings, and distinctive crest. A member of the harrier family, it is named for its preference for hunting in open countryside, particularly near hen nests, hence its common name. The Hen Harrier was once a common sight in the British Isles but has suffered significant population declines due to habitat loss, persecution, and other factors. This beautiful illustration serves as a reminder of the bird's former abundance and the importance of conservation efforts to protect this iconic species. The intricate details of the Hen Harrier's plumage, beak, and other features are beautifully rendered in this handcolored copperplate print. The use of naturalistic colors adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical ornithological illustrations. This print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the meticulous work of a skilled artist and ornithologist. It is a testament to the rich history of natural history and the importance of preserving the world's diverse bird populations for future generations to appreciate and study.
