EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Black crowned crane, Balearica pavonina (Ardea pavonina). The vulnerable species is brought to life through a handcoloured copperplate engraving by William Hayes and his child C. This illustration is part of the renowned collection titled "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park" published in London in 1794. The intricate details captured in this artwork highlight the delicate features of this African bird. Its elegant black plumage contrasts with its striking crown adorned with golden feathers, creating a regal appearance that commands attention. The artist's skillful use of color brings out the vibrancy and majesty of this magnificent creature. As we admire this rare avian specimen, it serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect endangered species like the Black crowned crane. With its vulnerability status, it becomes even more crucial for us to appreciate and conserve these unique creatures that contribute to our planet's biodiversity. This 18th-century masterpiece by William Hayes not only celebrates ornithology but also exemplifies artistry at its finest. It transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at nature's wonders through an artist's eyes and experience their passion for capturing rare birds on paper.
