About the Item

An original handcolored print featuring the Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis): **Title:** Anthus Pratensis - Hand-colored Meadow Pipit Lithograph **Artist:** Magnus von Wright **Printer:** A. Bortzells Tryckeri **Work:** Svenska fåglar (Swedish Birds) **Year:** 1927 **Medium:** Hand-colored Lithograph Description: This detailed hand-colored lithograph by Magnus von Wright, printed by A. Bortzells Tryckeri, depicts the Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis), a small passerine bird. The Meadow Pipit is characterized by its slender body, brown upperparts with darker streaks, and a pale underside with fine streaking on the breast and flanks. The bird's delicate, slightly curved beak is well-suited for its insectivorous diet. In the illustration, the Meadow Pipit is shown standing on a patch of ground with sparse vegetation, reflecting its natural habitat. The bird's posture and attention to detail in the plumage highlight the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the species. **Habitat and Distribution:** The Meadow Pipit is commonly found across Europe and parts of Asia. It prefers open habitats such as moorlands, heathlands, grasslands, and coastal marshes. - **Europe:** Widely distributed across the continent, from the British Isles and Scandinavia to the Mediterranean regions. - **Asia:** Found in temperate regions, extending into parts of western and central Asia. During the breeding season, the Meadow Pipit is often observed in upland areas, while in winter, it moves to lower altitudes and coastal regions. This print captures the subtle beauty and distinctive features of the Meadow Pipit, making it a valuable piece for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts alike. The careful hand-coloring and precise lithographic technique used by Magnus von Wright bring this charming bird to life on the page. ---
