EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored steel engraving depicts the Black-winged Red Bishop, Euplectes hordeaceus, also known as the Crimson-crowned Weaver or Cordon-bleu Weaver. The intricately detailed illustration was created by the renowned naturalist and illustrator, William John Swainson, and later engraved by William Lizars for inclusion in Sir William Jardine's Naturalist's Library: Ornithology, published in Edinburgh in 1837. The Black-winged Red Bishop is a native of Western Africa and is easily identified by its distinctive black wings, red body, and bright crimson crown. The male bird, as depicted in this engraving, also sports a striking blue cordon or bib, which is less prominent in the female. This species is a member of the weaverbird family, known for their elaborate and intricately woven nests. Swainson's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the engraving, which captures the bird's vibrant plumage and expressive features. The background of the print features a lush, tropical landscape, further emphasizing the exotic nature of this African bird. This beautiful and historically significant print is a testament to the artistry and scientific exploration of the natural world during the 19th century. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating insight into the natural history of the Black-winged Red Bishop and the remarkable skill of the artists and engravers who brought it to life.
