About this Item
GEORGE EDWARD LODGE (BRITISH, 1860-1954) "Great Northern Diver", Colymbus Glacialis Ink, watercolor and gouache on paper Titled and signed G.E.L Paper size: 6 1/4" x 9" "A man of most exceptional charm and distinction, [Lodge] was recognized on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the finest bird-artists this country has ever produced. His wide experience in falconry doubtless gave him special knowledge of the hawk family, for he was a keen falconer from his earliest days. In the painting of birds of prey he had no rival in any country. He was primarily an artist but, being a good naturalist as well, he was able to depict his subjects among their natural surroundings and to make them look alive." " (Obituary, The Times, 9 February 1954.) Prepared for the Longmans s "readership series" of books. Throughout his long life, Lodge illustrated over sixty books, including 389 plates of 426 species for David Bannerman s "Birds of the British Isles," a twelve volume epic, which he undertook at the age of 92.
