Plate 46 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Stunning Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Collared Pratincole (Glareola pratincola) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, plate 46 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), showcases the graceful and elegant Collared Pratincole (Glareola pratincola). The Collared Pratincole is a medium-sized wading bird belonging to the Charadriiformes family and the Glareolidae genus. The bird is depicted in its full glory, with its orange-brown plumage, long, slender legs, and distinctive black and white "collar" around its neck. The Collared Pratincole's bill is long and down-curved, which is typical of the Charadriiformes family. The bird's fluffy appearance and the soft, muted colors of the illustration add to its charm. The Collared Pratincole is a daytime bird, and this illustration captures the bird in its natural habitat, likely near a body of water. The bird's bib, or the white patch under its beak, is clearly visible, adding to its unique identification. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain was a series of hand-coloured lithographs that showcased the birds of Britain and Ireland during the 19th century. The series was produced between 1832 and 1837 and was considered one of the most comprehensive works on the birds of the British Isles at the time. The illustrations were produced using the lithographic process, which allowed for intricate detail and vibrant colors. This particular illustration of the Collared Pratincole is a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers and colorists of the time, and it continues to be a fascinating and beautiful representation of this unique and intriguing bird.
