EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Short-eared Owl, captured by the talented photographer William Notman. Born in Scotland but later settling in Canada, Notman was renowned for his exceptional skill in capturing wildlife through his lens. In this particular image taken in 1876, he perfectly captures the essence of this majestic creature. The Short-eared Owl is depicted with its wings gracefully spread wide, as if frozen mid-flight. Its large round eyes pierce through the photograph, revealing an intense gaze that seems to penetrate one's soul. The intricate details of its feathers are beautifully highlighted against a soft background, creating a striking contrast that adds depth and dimension to the image. Notman's use of albumen silver print further enhances the ethereal quality of this photograph. This technique involves coating paper with egg white mixed with silver salts before exposing it to light and developing it. The result is a rich tonal range and exquisite clarity that brings out every nuance and texture within the image. This remarkable piece from Montreal, Quebec not only serves as a testament to William Notman's artistic prowess but also offers viewers an intimate glimpse into nature's wonders. Whether displayed on a gallery wall or cherished within your personal collection, this Short-eared Owl print will undoubtedly captivate all who lay their eyes upon it.
