EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 7 from William MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals (1831-1841) presents a captivating and intricately detailed illustration of the Common Eider, Somateria mollissima. This majestic duck species is depicted in its natural habitat, with its belly resting on a sandy beach, surrounded by the crisp, green waves. The Common Eider's distinctive features are on full display, including its long, greenish-black bill, harlequin-patterned mask, and the elegant curve of its nape. The Common Eider's face is a marvel of anatomy, with its large, expressive eyes, rounded forehead, and well-defined cheek lines. Its breast is adorned with a soft, downy covering, providing insulation in the cold waters where it resides. The long, webbed feet of the Common Eider are also visible, perfectly adapted for swimming and diving in search of food. The Common Eider is a member of the Anatidae family, and its anatomy is a testament to the incredible adaptations that allow it to thrive in its aquatic environment. MacGillivray's meticulous attention to detail in this illustration captures the essence of the Common Eider's beauty and grace, making it a must-see for any nature enthusiast or artist. This stunning 19th-century illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, providing a valuable record of the Common Eider and its habitat. MacGillivray's Watercolour Drawings of British Animals remains a treasured resource for those interested in the natural history of the British Isles and beyond.
