EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate print showcases the Grey Fantail, Rhipidura albiscapa, also known as the Southern Wagtail. The image is based on a painting by the renowned Port Jackson Painter and was drawn and engraved by John Latham for his seminal work, "A General History of Birds," published in Winchester in 1823. The Grey Fantail is a small, agile bird native to Australia and New Guinea, characterized by its long, graduated tail and grey plumage. The intricate details of the bird's feathers, beak, and eyes are beautifully rendered in this meticulously crafted print. The artist's skillful use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. Ornithology enthusiasts and collectors of natural history prints will appreciate the historical significance and aesthetic value of this rare and stunning print.
