EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 36" from Archibald Thorburn's second edition of "British Birds, Vol. 1," published in 1925, features a captivating image of three distinct species of swallows: Riparia riparia (Ripple Martin or Barn Swallow), Hirundo rustica (Common House Martin), and Delichon urbicum (Collared Sand Martin) perched on a barn. The birds are depicted in stunning detail, showcasing their unique anatomical features. The Barn Swallow, with its distinctive blue back and brown belly, is shown on the far left, its face turned towards the viewer, revealing its long, pointed beak and red collar. The Common House Martin, in the middle, is shown with a white belly and chest, contrasting with its brown back and wings. Its face is turned away, revealing a white patch under its chin, known as a bib. The Collared Sand Martin, on the right, is shown with a sandy-brown back and wings, and a white belly and collar. Its face is turned towards the Barn Swallow, as if in conversation. The image captures the birds in their natural habitat, a barn, during daytime hours. Archibald Thorburn's masterful illustration showcases the beauty and diversity of these birds, which belong to the order Aves, and the families Hirundinidae (swallows) and Delichonidae (sand martins). The 19th-century artist's attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of these birds in their natural setting make this plate a must-see for ornithology enthusiasts and art lovers alike. The image is a testament to Thorburn's skill as a natural history illustrator and his dedication to documenting the natural world. It is a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
