EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor print showcases two exquisitely detailed birds from the realms of avian beauty: the Northern Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) and the Ring Ouzel (Turdus torquatus). Painted by the renowned British ornithological artist Henry Payne around 1920, this illustration invites us to explore the intricacies of their anatomy and the unique characteristics that set them apart. The Northern Lapwing, with its distinctive crest, can be identified by its long, slender legs, a belly that appears almost white, and a collar of black feathers around its neck. Perched on a branch, the lapwing's head is turned towards its side, revealing its long, curved beak and piercing eyes. Its plumage is a mix of brown and gray, with black wingtips that create an illusion of wings when the bird is on the ground, helping it blend in with its surroundings. The Ring Ouzel, on the other hand, is a passerine bird, characterized by its short, sturdy beak and the distinctive ring of white feathers around its neck. Its back is a rich, chestnut color, and its belly is white with black spots. The Ring Ouzel's head is adorned with a black mask, and its eyes are a vibrant, piercing yellow. Payne's masterful use of watercolor brings these birds to life, capturing their essence and the delicate details of their anatomy. The artist's keen observation and dedication to the art of ornithology are evident in every brushstroke. This print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations to enjoy.
