1811 Ficedula Flycatcher Graves Muscicapa Ornithology Pied Atricapilla Hypoleuca


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts the Pied Flycatcher (Muscicapa atricapilla, Ficedula hypoleuca), a small, agile bird native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The intricately detailed illustration was drawn and engraved by George Graves, a versatile English artist, bookseller, publisher, and engraver, for his seminal work "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves' mastery of the copperplate engraving technique is evident in the intricate lines and precise shading that bring the Pied Flycatcher to life. The bird is depicted perched on a branch, its distinctive black and white plumage contrasting sharply against the lush green foliage. The vibrant handcoloring adds depth and texture to the image, making each feather and detail stand out in stunning clarity. The Pied Flycatcher is a flycatcher, a type of bird that catches its prey in mid-air, and is known for its distinctive call, which sounds like a sharp "pit-pit-pit." This bird is a migratory species, traveling between its breeding grounds in Europe and its wintering grounds in Africa. Graves' work was a significant contribution to the field of ornithology, providing an accurate and detailed record of the natural world for scientific and artistic purposes. His dedication to capturing the beauty and complexity of the natural world through his illustrations continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
