EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts a Snowy Owl, Bubo scandiacus, a magnificent bird of prey native to the Arctic regions. The image was meticulously drawn and engraved by George Graves, a versatile English artist, bookseller, publisher, and engraver, for his seminal work "British Ornithology," published in Walworth in 1821. Graves' mastery of the copperplate engraving technique is evident in the intricate details and lifelike quality of the Snowy Owl's plumage, with its pristine white feathers contrasting sharply against its piercing yellow eyes and black beak. The delicate handcoloring adds a vibrant touch to the print, bringing the Snowy Owl to life and highlighting its distinctive features. At the time, Graves' work was groundbreaking in its accuracy and attention to detail, reflecting the growing interest in natural history during the Victorian era. This print is a testament to Graves' artistic skill and his dedication to documenting the natural world. The Snowy Owl, also known as the "huskies' owl" due to its Arctic habitat and its resemblance to the popular Arctic breed, is a powerful and adaptable predator. It is well-known for its ability to survive in extreme cold environments, making it a fitting subject for this stunning work of art. This Snowy Owl print is not only a beautiful addition to any collection of ornithological art but also a valuable historical artifact, showcasing the remarkable talent and passion of George Graves and the advancements in natural history during the 19th century.
