Item description from seller

WILLIAM POPE (British/Canadian, 1811-1902) Red tailed Hawk Falco borealis Wilson May 20th 1835 Pen and ink and watercolor Signed "W.P" lower right Paper size: 14 1/2 x 10 1/2 in. Provenance The artist’s family and thence by descent. Exhibited Simcoe, Ontario, Lynnwood Art Centre, Birds of a Feather, 3-31 May 1987 (a selection). Simcoe, Ontario, Eva Brook Donly Museum, May-7 June 1987 (a selection). Simcoe, Ontario, Lynnwood Art Centre, 4 August-3 September 1989 (a selection) Like his fellow artist-naturalists in the nineteenth century, William Pope was a lover of nature and a sportsman. Contrary to popular belief, sport hunters are, in fact, often passionate about nature and wildlife. They do not see their actions as simply killing the animal but rather about their skill and ability to outwit their prey. The artist and naturalist William Pope was no exception and he enjoyed capturing evocative drawings of North American wildlife while traveling through the wilderness and enjoying the pursuit of the hunt. Born in Kent, England, Pope came to North America for the first time in 1834. He traveled in the United States, eventually moving on to southwestern Ontario on and off through the 1850s, finally settling permanently in Ontario. William Pope is universally considered Canada’s first artist-naturalist. His detailed drawings of birds and other native fauna are often compared to John James Audubon’s works. This collection comes directly from the artist’s family and is the most extensive grouping of Pope watercolors in private hands. Other examples can be found in the Baldwin Collection of Canadiana at the Toronto Public Library. Loca: 6.3B.D49.
