EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant beauty of a Demoiselle or Numidian crane, scientifically known as Grus virgo. The image, captured by George Edwards and later engraved on a copperplate, is brought to life with meticulous hand coloring. Taken from Samuel Galton Jr. 's renowned book "Natural History of Birds" this particular artwork was intended to educate and entertain children in 18th-century London. Joseph Johnson published this masterpiece in 1791, ensuring that young minds could marvel at the wonders of ornithology. The Demoiselle crane depicted here stands tall and graceful against a backdrop that highlights its intricate plumage. Its slender body exudes an air of elegance while its long neck stretches gracefully towards the sky. This avian creature's delicate features are meticulously portrayed through Edwards' skilled artistry. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural world for future generations.
