EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Capercaillie, c1910" takes us back to the early 20th century and showcases the remarkable talent of artist George James Rankin. Part of the renowned publication "Britain's Birds and Their Nests" by A. Landsborough Thomson, this image captures a side view of a majestic capercaillie in its natural habitat. The scene unfolds in a lush woodland setting, where the capercaillie stands tall on a tree trunk amidst vibrant green foliage. The brown plumage of this magnificent bird blends harmoniously with its surroundings, creating an enchanting display of nature's beauty. With great precision and attention to detail, Rankin portrays not only the capercaillie but also includes elements like ferns and plants that further enhance the authenticity of this wildlife portrait. Incredibly protective, we see the capercaillie guarding its nest nearby—an egg delicately nestled within. This exquisite watercolor painting exemplifies Rankin's mastery as an ornithological artist while embodying Sir Arthur Landsborough Thomson's dedication to documenting Britain's avian species. Published by The Waverley Book Company in collaboration with W. R Chambers Ltd. , this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable resource for bird enthusiasts. As we gaze upon this timeless piece from our past, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our natural heritage for future generations to appreciate and cherish.
