EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print showcases the Sandwich Tern, Thalasseus sandvicensis, a seabird species native to the North Atlantic Ocean. The intricately detailed illustration, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist Edward Donovan, is taken from his seminal work, "The Natural History of British Birds," published in London between 1794 and 1819. Donovan's meticulous observation and artistic skill are evident in the lifelike representation of the Sandwich Tern. The bird is depicted in its full regalia, with its distinctive black cap, white underparts, and grey wings. Its beak is open, revealing the bright red tip, a clear indication of its predatory nature. The background, adorned with delicate waves and rocks, further emphasizes the Sandwich Tern's aquatic habitat. The Sandwich Tern is a large tern, with a wingspan of up to 96 cm (38 inches). It is a migratory bird, breeding in the North Atlantic region, primarily in the UK, Iceland, and Norway. During the non-breeding season, it can be found as far south as the Mediterranean and West Africa. This versatile bird feeds on a variety of prey, including fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Edward Donovan's "The Natural History of British Birds" was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology. With its high-quality illustrations, it provided an accurate record of the natural history of British birds, contributing significantly to the scientific understanding of avian species. This Sandwich Tern print is a testament to Donovan's dedication and expertise, offering a glimpse into the natural world of over two centuries ago.
