EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic King vulture, Sarcoramphus papa (Vultur papa), in all its glory. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was skillfully created by William Hayes and his daughter Matilda, as part of their collection titled "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park". The intricate details captured in this illustration bring to life the unique features of this magnificent bird. With its striking plumage and regal presence, the King vulture stands out among its avian counterparts. Its vibrant colors are beautifully enhanced through the handcolouring technique employed by Hayes and Matilda. Dating back to the 18th century, this artwork is a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic talent during that era. It serves as a valuable resource for ornithologists studying these rare species today. Florilegius has preserved this remarkable piece of English heritage, ensuring that it continues to inspire awe and wonder for generations to come. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to Osterly Park's menagerie, where these extraordinary birds once roamed freely. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have access to an extensive collection of historical artworks like this one.
