EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century print showcases a pair of Double-Ended Plovers, a rare and elegant species of shorebird native to Asia. The birds are depicted in intricate detail, with their distinctive curved beaks and slender bodies captured in a close-up, stylized composition. The image is carved from ivory and features sumi inlays, adding depth and texture to the already striking design. The Double-Ended Plovers are dressed in hand-carved, handicraft apparel, a common practice during the late 1800s for preserving and displaying natural specimens. The ivory accessory serves as a testament to the rich heritage of Asian art and the fascination with nature during this era. The print, which is believed to date back to the 1890s, is a studio shot, capturing the birds in a controlled environment. The ivory material has developed a warm, aged patina over time, adding to its antique charm. This Double-Ended Plovers print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the natural world and the artistic traditions of the past. The image is a reminder of the beauty and intricacy of nature, as well as the skill and craftsmanship of the artists who captured it.
