EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Brent goose, scientifically known as Branta bernicla. The image is a handcoloured copperplate drawing and engraving created by Edward Donovan for his renowned work, "Natural History of British Birds" published in London between 1794 and 1819. Edward Donovan was an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist, and engraver who dedicated his life to studying and documenting various aspects of nature. His passion led him to write and illustrate several volumes on birds, fish, shells, and insects. In addition to his literary pursuits, Donovan even established his own museum of natural history in London. However, despite his accomplishments in the field of natural history, fate dealt a cruel blow to Donovan's later years. He faced financial difficulties that left him penniless before he passed away at the age of 69. This photograph not only captures the beauty of the Brent goose but also serves as a testament to Edward Donovan's immense talent as both an artist and scientist. It stands as a reminder that even though life may present challenges along our journey, our contributions can leave lasting legacies that continue to inspire future generations.
