EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored engraving showcases the Field Finch, Fringilla campestris, from the esteemed collection of Reverend Hennessy, as illustrated by the renowned natural history artist, Charles Hamilton Smith. The illustration was published in Edward Griffiths' seminal work, "The Animal Kingdom" by the Baron Cuvier, in London, 1828 by Whittaker. The Field Finch, also known as the European Greenfinch, is a common bird species native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. With its distinctive yellow underparts, brown back, and black and white wings, this bird is a beloved sight in open country and cultivated lands. The intricate detail in this engraving, faithfully rendered from Smith's original illustration, highlights the beauty and complexity of the Field Finch's plumage and anatomy. This engraving is a testament to the meticulous work of both Smith and the engraver, as well as the dedication of Reverend Hennessy to amassing a remarkable collection of natural specimens. The publication of "The Animal Kingdom" was a significant contribution to the fields of natural history, zoology, and ornithology, and this Field Finch illustration remains a captivating representation of the bird species.
