EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving showcases the captivating beauty of the Rosy Starling, Sturnus roseus. The Rosy Starling, also known as the European Rosy Starling or the Common Starling, is a passerine bird native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. This engraving is taken from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's seminal work, "The Naturalist's Miscellany," published in 1792. The Rosy Starling is recognized by its glossy, iridescent plumage, which ranges from deep purple to green and blue, with a rosy-red sheen on the wings and tail. The beak is short and yellow, and the legs are long and slender. This bird is an excellent imitator of various sounds, making it a popular subject among naturalists and birdwatchers. The Rosy Starling is a social bird that forms large flocks, particularly during the winter months. They are omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of food sources, including insects, fruit, and seeds. They are also known to eat small vertebrates, such as amphibians and reptiles. This stunning engraving provides a glimpse into the natural history of the Rosy Starling during the late 18th century. The intricate details of the feathers and the lifelike representation of the bird's expression are a testament to the skill of the engravers, George Shaw and Frederick Nodder. The engraving also serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations to appreciate. Overall, this handcolored copperplate engraving is not only a work of art but also an essential contribution to the field of ornithology, showcasing the natural history of the Rosy Starling in a way that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
