EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Common eider, scientifically known as Somateria mollissima. The image captures the essence of this remarkable bird, also referred to as Greenland duck or St. Cuthbert's duck, with its striking black and white plumage. The handcoloured woodblock engraving was skillfully created by George Edwards for his renowned publication, "The Natural History of Birds" which was published in 1815 by Brightly and Childs in Bungay, Suffolk. Charles Brightly and John Firby Childs collaborated on this project, combining their expertise in printing and stereotyping. Edward Donovan (1768-1837), an esteemed artist and naturalist of the Georgian era, is credited with capturing this exquisite illustration that now graces our eyes through this stunning print from Fine Art Finder. With its intricate details meticulously engraved onto woodcut, this scientific illustration not only serves ornithology enthusiasts but also art lovers who appreciate the fusion of science and creativity. It transports us into a world where wildlife animals reign supreme. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the diverse wonders found within nature's realm. From sea birds to fowls like cuddys ducks - they all contribute to the vibrant tapestry that is our planet's wild life.
