EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Black tern, scientifically known as Chlidonias niger. The handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving was skillfully created by Edward Donovan for his renowned work "Natural History of British Birds" published in London between 1794 and 1819. Edward Donovan, an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver, dedicated his life to studying and documenting the natural world. His passion is evident in this meticulously detailed illustration that captures the essence of this elegant bird species. Donovan's contributions extended beyond his artistic talents; he also authored numerous volumes on birds, fish, shells, and insects. His dedication to sharing knowledge led him to establish his own museum of natural history in London. However, despite his achievements during his lifetime, Donovan faced financial hardships later on. Tragically, he passed away penniless but left behind a legacy that continues to inspire nature enthusiasts today. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also pays homage to Edward Donovan's remarkable talent and unwavering commitment to understanding and appreciating the wonders of our natural world.
