EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century artwork, titled "Common Magpies" takes us back in time to appreciate the intricate beauty of nature. Created by William MacGillivray as part of his collection "Watercolour Drawings of British Animals" between 1831 and 1841, this piece showcases a pair of European magpies (Pica pica) in all their glory. The meticulous detail captured in this illustration allows us to observe these magnificent birds from a side view, revealing their distinct profile and features. As members of the corvid family, magpies are known for their intelligence and striking appearance. Their glossy black feathers contrasted with flashes of white create an enchanting visual display. MacGillivray's skillful brushstrokes bring life to these avian creatures while highlighting their biological characteristics. Being omnivorous scavengers, magpies have adapted well to various habitats across Eurasia, making them a common sight in our natural world. Displayed against a backdrop reminiscent of the era it was created in, this watercolor painting transports us into the heart of wildlife exploration during the 1800s. Preserved by the Natural History Museum in London and made available through Science Photo Library, this print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and scientific observation. Whether you are an admirer of ornithology or simply captivated by historical artistry, this Common Magpie artwork offers an opportunity to immerse yourself in the wonders that lie within our natural surroundings.
