EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Blackcap, Sylvia atricapilla. Handcoloured copperplate drawn and engraved by Edward Donovan from his own "Natural History of British Birds". London, 1794-1819. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this bird to life, capturing its essence in a truly remarkable way. Edward Donovan, an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver, dedicated his life to studying and documenting the natural world. His passion for birds led him to write and illustrate several volumes on various species. This particular artwork is just one example of his exceptional talent as both an artist and scientist. Donovan's contributions extended beyond his publications; he even established his own museum of natural history in London.
