Title: "Horned Grebe (Podiceps auritus): A Beautiful and Rare Sight in the Waters of Europe and Asia" This exquisite handcolored copperplate print showcases the Horned Grebe, also known as the Slavonian Grebe (Podiceps auritus), a fascinating and elusive bird species native to Europe and Asia. The print, drawn and engraved by the remarkable George Graves in 1821, is a testament to the artist's exceptional skills in both botanical and ornithological illustrations. George Graves, a versatile figure in the world of 19th-century science and art, was not only a bookseller and publisher but also an accomplished artist, engraver, and colorist. His work on this print, as part of his extensive contribution to British Ornithology, remains an invaluable addition to the historical record of avian species. The Horned Grebe, with its distinctive tufts of feathers above its eyes, is depicted in this print with remarkable detail and accuracy. The bird's intricate plumage, from its glossy black head and neck to its white underparts and chestnut-brown back, is beautifully rendered in vibrant colors. The print also highlights the Horned Grebe's webbed feet, which are perfectly adapted for its semi-aquatic lifestyle. As a resident of shallow, freshwater lakes and ponds, the Horned Grebe is an elusive and rarely seen creature.
