EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the exquisite beauty of the Shaft-tailed whydah, also known as the Shaft-tailed whidah or Emberiza regia. The illustration was created by William Hayes and his daughter Matilda for their renowned work, "Portraits of Rare and Curious Birds from the Menagery of Osterly Park" published in London in 1794. The intricate details captured in this print bring to life the delicate features and vibrant plumage of this rare bird species. The Shaft-tailed whydah's long, slender tail feathers gracefully extend behind its elegant body, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. William Hayes' expertise as an artist is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique, while his daughter Matilda's contribution adds a touch of familial collaboration to this masterpiece. Together, they have immortalized this avian wonder with remarkable precision and artistic flair. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported back to the 18th century when ornithology was emerging as a scientific discipline. This print serves not only as a testament to the talent and dedication of these skilled artists but also as a valuable historical artifact that allows us to appreciate nature's wonders through their eyes. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now admire and cherish this extraordinary depiction of the Shaft-tailed whydah for generations to come.
