EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print, we are transported to a cozy winter scene inside a charming house. The focal point of the image is a tame peewit, also known as a northern lapwing, basking in the warmth of the hearth. This delightful bird has found solace by the fire alongside its faithful companions - a pet cat and dog. The handcoloured copperplate engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of each animal. The peewit's feathers shimmer with shades of green and brown, while its distinctive crest adds an air of elegance to its appearance. The cat lounges gracefully nearby, displaying its natural grace and curiosity towards their feathered friend. Meanwhile, the loyal dog rests contentedly at their feet. This heartwarming scene was inspired by an anecdote shared by Reverend J. Carlyle with wood-engraver and naturalist Thomas Bewick. It speaks volumes about the harmonious relationship between different species that can be fostered within our homes. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of the simple joys that come from sharing our lives with animals. Whether it's curling up by a crackling fire or enjoying moments of tranquility together, these creatures bring us comfort and companionship during cold winter days. This remarkable artwork is not only visually stunning but also serves as a testament to Reverend Thomas Smith's passion for capturing nature's wonders through his writings and illustrations on natural history.
