EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Olive-naped weaver, also known as the round-winged weaver. The intricate details of this beautiful bird are brought to life through a handcoloured steel engraving by William Lizars, based on an illustration by William John Swainson. This particular image is part of Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology and was published in Edinburgh in 1837. The Olive-naped weaver, scientifically named Ploceus brachypterus, is native to Senegal in Western Africa. Its vibrant plumage and unique round wings make it a truly remarkable species. This artwork perfectly captures its essence and allows us to appreciate the wonders of nature. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to the intricate patterns on the bird's feathers and its delicate beak. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring, showcasing both Lizars' skill as an engraver and Swainson's expertise as an illustrator. This image not only celebrates the beauty of birds but also serves as a reminder of the diverse wildlife that inhabits our planet. It invites us to explore Western Africa's rich avian fauna while highlighting the importance of preserving these natural habitats for future generations.
