About the Item

This 1843 wood engraving, meticulously hand-colored, unveils the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) in stunning detail, captured by the skilled hand of Josiah Wood Whymper (1813-1903). Part of P. H. Gosse's 'Natural History, Birds,' this print stands as a testament to both Whymper's artistry and the era's commitment to documenting the natural world. Unlike some Whymper engravings, this particular piece features descriptive text beneath the image, adding depth to the ornithological depiction. This folio-sized vintage print carries the essence of the Romantic period's fascination with nature and discovery. While the print remains in good condition, slight foxing and toning along the edges add a touch of authenticity to its age. This exquisite engraving reveals the grace and power of the Peregrine Falcon, a species revered for its speed and prowess in flight. Originally a part of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge's (SPCK) collection, this print bears historical significance, reflecting SPCK's legacy as a pivotal Anglican mission organization and an early publishing powerhouse, showcasing their dedication to disseminating knowledge encompassing Christian literature and broader educational subjects.
