EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate print showcases the striking features of the Boat-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus major), also known as the Boat-tailed Ibis or the Mexican Grackle. The image, drawn and engraved by the renowned naturalist John Latham in 1822, captures the bird's distinctive elongated tail feathers, which give it its name. The Boat-tailed Grackle is a large, glossy black bird native to the southern United States and Central America. Its iridescent plumage is accentuated by the intricate details and vibrant colors in this print. Latham, a pioneering figure in ornithology, produced this illustration as part of his comprehensive work, "A General History of Birds," which showcased the natural history and taxonomy of over 2,000 bird species. This print is a testament to Latham's dedication to documenting the natural world and his exceptional artistic abilities.
