EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored copperplate print depicts the Common Quail, Coturnix coturnix, a small ground-dwelling bird native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa. The intricate detail of this artwork is a testament to the skill of George Graves, a British artist, engraver, and publisher who created this masterpiece in 1821. Graves was a prolific figure in the world of ornithological illustration, and this print is a prime example of his talent. The Common Quail is shown in its natural habitat, with its cryptic plumage providing excellent camouflage among the fallen leaves and twigs. The quail's distinctive crest is raised, adding to its regal appearance. The copperplate engraving process used to create this print involved etching the design onto a copper plate, which was then inked and pressed onto paper. The intricate lines and shading were then painstakingly hand-colored by skilled artisans, resulting in a final image of breathtaking beauty and accuracy. This print is taken from Graves' publication "British Ornithology," which was first published in 1813 and was one of the most comprehensive works on the birds of Britain and Europe at the time. Graves' dedication to accuracy and detail made his works an invaluable resource for ornithologists and naturalists, and this Common Quail print remains a stunning example of his artistry and expertise.
