EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving captures the beauty and majesty of two magnificent birds of prey - the Grey goshawk and the Peregrine falcon. The intricate details in this artwork, created by artist J.G. Pretre and engraved by Terreni under the direction of Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin, bring these birds to life on paper.
The Grey goshawk, scientifically known as Accipiter novaehollandiae, is depicted with its sleek grey feathers and piercing yellow eyes. Its powerful talons are ready to strike at any moment, showcasing its prowess as a skilled hunter in the wild.
Next to it stands what appears to be a variety of Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as a "dappled brown sparrowhawk." This bird of prey exudes strength and speed with its sharp beak and keen gaze.
As they stand side by side in this illustration from Antoine Jussieu's "Dictionary of Natural Science," we are reminded of the diversity and wonder found in the animal kingdom. Each feather meticulously handcoloured brings out their unique characteristics, making them truly come alive on paper.
This print serves as a reminder of the beauty that surrounds us in nature and highlights the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for generations to come.
