The Taylor White Collection's 18th Century Watercolour Painting of The Long-Eared Owl
Our Long-Eared Owl journal / notebook comes from the original collection of Taylor White F.R.S. (1701-1772). In the mid-18th Century, White commissioned the celebrated wildlife painter, Charles Collins (c.1680 - 1744) to paint a number of specimens for his collection. The watercolour painting of the Long-Eared Owl was one of these masterpieces, which emerged from the collaboration between White and Collins.
The original watercolour of the Long-Eared Owl is extremely finely painted, with incredible detail, allowing you to see the Long-Eared Owl's plumage and features in stunning clarity. This depth of colour and detail has been captured brilliantly through the digitalisation process and is replicated for you on this delightful journal / notebook, which is now available for you to enjoy for noting down your thoughts, ideas, sketches, doodles, or to buy as a thoughtful gift for your friends and family.
Taylor White, a barrister by profession and landowner on the Nottinghamshire / Yorkshire border, was a keen naturalist and collector. He commissioned over 900 paintings of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish from the finest painters of his day. He was a governor and the founding Treasurer of The Foundling Hospital in London, as well as being a Fellow of The Royal Society. He was extremely well-connected in Society, which enabled him to create such a world-class collections of specimen and thus paintings. White's father in-law was Major-General John Armstrong, who as Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, Chief Royal Engineer and Quartermaster-General to the Forces, has his offices in The Tower of London. Consequently, Taylor White had access to the birds and beasts of The Royal Menagerie at the Tower. He also was able to borrow specimen from The British Museum. Some rarer and more exotic specimens were brought back from their great travels across the globe by his Royal Society friends, the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks, Bt. and the famous clockmaker, John Harrison.
The Long-Eared Owl
The Long-Eared Owl (Scientific name: asio otus), with its piercing eyes and unique features, is a captivating creature sure to make a lasting impression. Also known as the Northern Long-Eared Owl, Lesser Horned Owl, or Cat Owl, this medium-sized owl is a majestic sight to behold.
Widespread across North America, Europe, North Africa, and Central Asia, the Long-Eared Owl has made a name for itself in various habitats. Its preferred living arrangements include partially open spaces, like the edge of a wood. While they find comfort in dense woodland, they're also fond of hunting in open countryside.
These intelligent birds often repurpose the nests of other species, such as crows, instead of building their own. Talk about resourceful!
When it comes to dining, the Long-Eared Owl is all about those delicious rodents, with voles being their top choice. However, when hunger strikes and rodents are scarce, these owls show their adaptability by hunting for other birds and insects.
