EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Kingfisher, captured in the mid-19th century by Reverend Francis Orpen Morris. The image is taken from his renowned work, Bible Natural History: containing a Description of Quadrupeds, Birds, Trees, Plants, Insects, Etc, Mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. The side view of this magnificent bird perched on a branch reveals its vibrant and colorful plumage. Its profile highlights the intricate details of its turquoise feathers that shimmer with an otherworldly beauty. This exquisite portrayal not only captures the essence of this avian creature but also serves as a testament to both science and religion. With its presence mentioned in biblical texts, the Kingfisher holds symbolic significance within Christianity. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate nature's wonders through both religious and scientific lenses. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait created over 150 years ago by J. Ainsworth for Reverend Morris' publication, we are reminded of the rich history encompassing ornithology and natural history studies during the 19th century. The print collector has preserved this valuable piece of artistry for generations to come—allowing us to marvel at the intricacies found within God's creation while appreciating the artistic talent behind capturing such breathtaking moments in time.
