EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print showcases the vibrant plumage of the Ring or Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), a native bird of Europe and Asia. The intricate detail of this beautiful specimen is a testament to the skillful artistry of George Graves, a remarkable figure in the world of ornithology during the early 19th century. Graves was an accomplished bookseller, publisher, artist, engraver, and colorist, who dedicated himself to the creation of high-quality ornithological works. His masterpiece, "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821, is a prime example of his dedication and expertise. The Ring or Common Pheasant was one of the many birds meticulously documented in this publication. This particular print, drawn and engraved by Graves himself, demonstrates the painstaking process involved in producing such intricate works. The copperplate engraving captures every feather and contour of the bird with remarkable precision, while the handcoloring adds a stunning layer of realism and depth. The Ring or Common Pheasant is a popular game bird, known for its distinctive ring of feathers around its neck. This magnificent bird has been a subject of fascination for naturalists and artists for centuries, and Graves' work continues to capture its beauty and allure. This historical print not only serves as a stunning work of art but also as an important record of the natural world, preserving the essence of the Ring or Common Pheasant for generations to come.
