EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "ORNITHOLOGY, 1808-1814" takes us back to a time when Alexander Wilson's American Ornithology was first published. The line engraving showcases four exquisite bird species that were meticulously illustrated by Wilson himself. The first image features the majestic Broad-winged Hawk, with its wings spread wide and eyes fixed on its prey. Its fierce gaze and powerful presence are beautifully captured in this intricate engraving. Moving on to the second print, we encounter the Chuck-wills-widow, a nocturnal bird known for its distinctive call that echoes through the night. This enchanting creature is portrayed perched on a branch, emanating an air of mystery and allure. Next up is the Cape-May Warbler, adorned in vibrant plumage that catches our eye instantly. Its delicate features and graceful pose make it a true gem among avian beauties. Finally, we have the Female Black-cap depicted in all her elegance. With subtle details highlighting her feathers and gentle expression, she exudes gracefulness and femininity. These remarkable engravings from Wilson's American Ornithology not only serve as stunning works of art but also provide valuable insights into early zoology and ornithological studies. They remind us of the importance of preserving nature's wonders for future generations to appreciate. Granger Art on Demand brings these historical prints to life once again, allowing us to delve into the world of ornithology as seen through Alexander Wilson's keen eye.
