EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured engraving captures the beauty and majesty of two powerful birds of prey - the Eurasian sparrowhawk, Accipiter nisus, and the northern goshawk, Accipiter gentilis. The intricate details in this print showcase the exquisite artistry of Fournier after a drawing by Edouard Travies from Richard's "New Edition of the Complete Works of Buffon," published by Pourrat Freres in Paris in 1837. The Eurasian sparrowhawk is known for its agility and speed as it hunts small birds and mammals with precision. Its sleek form and piercing eyes are depicted with remarkable accuracy in this engraving. In contrast, the northern goshawk exudes strength and power with its larger size and fierce gaze. These two predators are truly awe-inspiring creatures of the sky. As you admire this piece, imagine yourself transported back to the 19th century when naturalists like Buffon were documenting the wonders of nature through illustrations like this one. The combination of science and art in this engraving serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with the natural world. Let these magnificent birds remind you of the beauty and diversity that surrounds us every day.
