- Lot Description
Gyrfalcon, 1950
signed and dated "G.E. Lodge 1950" lower right
watercolor, 22 1/2 by 14 3/4 in.George Edward Lodge was an avid sportsman. Born in Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire, Lodge trained at the Lincoln College of Art where he excelled in drawing and wood engraving. Over the course of his long career, Lodge exhibited paintings at the Royal Academy and produced plates for over sixty scientific books, including Lord Lilford?s "Birds of Northamptonshire," alongside his contemporary Archibald Thorburn. His scientific work culminated with David Bannerman?s "Birds of the British Isles," a twelve-volume work for which he created 389 plates of 426 species. Bannerman and Lodge hoped ?that both text and illustrations will appeal to the increasingly wide public who find relaxation in art and in the scientific study of bird life.? Lodge painted the final plates for this book in 1952, when he was ninety-two years old. The artist traveled extensively for sport and birding, and had a strong interest in falconry as well as taxidermy. He was a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London and an active member of the British Ornithologists? Union, serving as Vice-President in 1945.
