EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and detailed illustration titled "Grallatores, Palmipedes, Wading and Swimming Birds". Created by the European School in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image was originally featured in the book "Natural History of the Animal Kingdom for the Use of Young People" by W. F. Kirby. The lithograph depicts various species of birds engaged in their natural habitats. From graceful wading birds to agile swimming ones, this composition offers a glimpse into the diverse avian world. Amongst them are notable species such as the ruff (Machetes pugnax), water hen (Gallinula chloropus), corncrake (Ortygometra crex), jacana (Parra spp. ), black-headed gull (Ridibundus ridibundus), great black-backed gull (Larus marinus), and herring gull (Larus argentatus). Each bird is meticulously rendered with vivid colors that bring them to life on paper. This historical piece not only serves as an ornithological reference but also highlights the beauty and intricacy found within nature itself. With its rich detail and scientific accuracy, this artwork exemplifies both artistic skill and scientific observation from a bygone era. It stands as a testament to our fascination with wildlife animals throughout history while reminding us of their importance in our natural world today.
