EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pied Wagtail - Motacil la lu gubris, c1910" takes us back to the early 20th century when nature and wildlife were celebrated in art. Created by the talented artist George James Rankin, this piece is part of the renowned publication "Britain's Birds and Their Nests" by A. Landsborough Thomson. In this side view portrait, a black-and-white Pied Wagtail stands gracefully on a bed of vibrant yellow dandelion flowers. The wagtail's sleek profile showcases its distinctive markings while it delicately balances on one leg. Its keen eye captures our attention as it surveys its surroundings with an air of elegance. The composition beautifully blends elements of nature and industry, symbolizing the harmonious coexistence between humans and wildlife during that era. The intricate pattern on the bird's feathers mirrors the patterns found in British flora, emphasizing their interconnectedness. Rankin masterfully employs watercolors to bring this scene to life, highlighting every detail from each petal to every feather with precision and skill. This print serves as a testament to his talent as well as his passion for ornithology. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty of British birds and their natural habitats through Sir Arthur Landsborough Thomson's visionary publication.
