Corncrake, historical artwork

Corncrake. Historical artwork of a corncrake, or landrail (Crex crex). This bird differs from its relatives the coot, moorhen and rail in that it does not live in water. Instead it inhabits grasslands throughout much of Europe and Africa. It is a migrant, breeding in Europe and Asia and wintering in Africa and the Mediterranean region. The advent of mechanised agriculture greatly reduced its numbers, as it nests in fields and meadows, and farm machines destroy its nests and eggs. It feeds on seeds and insects, and may reach a length of up to 30 centimetres. Its scientific name is taken from its harsh " crex crex" call. Artwork drawn by Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artwork of a corncrake, also known as the landrail (Crex crex). Unlike its relatives such as the coot, moorhen, and rail that thrive in water habitats, this unique bird prefers grasslands across Europe and Africa. With its migratory nature, it breeds in Europe and Asia during summers but winters in Africa and the Mediterranean region. Unfortunately, the advancement of mechanized agriculture has significantly impacted its population. The corncrake builds nests within fields and meadows which are easily destroyed by farm machines along with their precious eggs. Despite these challenges, this resilient creature sustains itself by feeding on seeds and insects while growing up to an impressive length of 30 centimeters. The scientific name "crex crex" is derived from its distinctive call that resembles harsh utterances. This remarkable artwork was skillfully drawn by Archibald Thorburn (1860-1935), renowned for his ornithological illustrations. Through this vertical composition filled with intricate details, we can appreciate both the beauty of nature's creations and the rich history behind them. This print serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect vulnerable species like the corncrake from further decline caused by human activities. Its presence symbolizes not only our interconnectedness with wildlife but also highlights how art can immortalize these magnificent creatures for generations to come.
