"Woodcocks, plate 4 of British Feather Game" is an early 19th-century engraving by the distinguished British printmaker Charles Turner, published around 1810 by Rudolph Ackermann. This work is part of a series that celebrates the various game birds found within the British Isles, showcasing Turner's adept skill in capturing the intricate details and naturalistic poses of the birds. The series, "British Feather Game," was created during a period when there was a growing interest in ornithology and the documentation of wildlife in art.

Charles Turner (1774–1857), not to be confused with the painter J.M.W. Turner, was one of the most prominent engravers of his time, known for his mastery of mezzotint—a printmaking process that allows for the creation of images with soft gradations of tone. His works often featured portraits, landscapes, and subjects from natural history, reflecting the tastes and interests of Georgian Britain.

The "Woodcocks" plate is particularly noted for its fine detail and the lifelike representation of the woodcocks in their natural habitat. Turner's ability to render the soft plumage and the subtle interplay of light and shadow demonstrates his technical prowess and artistic sensitivity. The engraving not only served as a piece of decorative art but also played a role in the dissemination of knowledge about British wildlife at a time when such subjects were gaining popularity among both the scientific community and the general public.

Published by Rudolph Ackermann, a notable influence in the world of printmaking and publishing, the "Woodcocks" engraving was made accessible to a wide audience. Ackermann's establishment was known for producing high-quality prints and for being a hub of artistic and literary activity in London. His involvement in the publication of Turner's work would have ensured its distribution to a clientele appreciative of fine art and natural history.

As a historical artifact, "Woodcocks, plate 4 of British Feather Game" provides insight into the artistic and cultural milieu of early 19th-century Britain. It stands as a testament to the skill of Charles Turner and the enduring appeal of wildlife art in capturing the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
