Robert Mitford (British, 1781-1870)
\nPreparatory work for Prideaux John Selby’s Illustrations of British Ornithology<\/p>\n
Prideaux John Selby (1788-1867) was a British gentleman landowner and artist who, as a boy, had studied the habits of birds and collected them as specimens, eventually using them as portrait subjects. The prints which comprise his landmark Illustrations of British Ornithology, originally published in Edinburgh between 1821 and 1833, were the first to depict British birds in actual size. His technique is said to have been partially inspired by Audubon, from whom he received personal art lessons in 1826. Some drawings are by Selby’s brother-in-law, Robert Mitford, but are signed in Selby’s hand. Selby is considered one of the great masters of 19th century bird art.<\/p>\n
