A Charming Depiction of a Waxwing (Bombylla garrulus), also Known as Morris, from the Year 1851 This exquisite print, featuring the vibrant and captivating Waxwing or Morris (Bombylla garrulus), hails from the annals of ornithological history, dating back to the year 1851. The image, a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic mastery of the time, was captured by an unidentified artist and published by Mary Evans, a renowned print seller and distributor in London. The Waxwing, a member of the Bombycillidae family, is renowned for its distinctive appearance. The bird's plumage boasts a striking combination of warm, rich tones, with a rusty-red crown, black mask, and a vibrant, wax-like red wax tip on each wing feather, giving it its namesake. The bird's beak is short, curved, and dark, and its eyes are bright and expressive. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural world as it was understood during the mid-19th century. The intricate details of the Waxwing's feathers, the delicate shading, and the lifelike quality of the image all serve to transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of this remarkable species as it was captured over 170 years ago. The Waxwing, or Morris, is a migratory bird that can be found in the northern hemisphere, particularly in Europe, Asia, and North America. Known for their social behavior and omnivorous diet, these birds are a delight to observe in their natural habitat, and continue to captivate ornithologists and naturalists alike with their unique appearance and fascinating behaviors. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history of ornithology and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It is a testament to the enduring allure of birds and the beauty and wonder they bring to our lives.
