EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 10 from John Gould's The Birds of Asia, Volume 1, showcases the striking beauty of Blyth's hawk-eagle (Spizaetus alboniger), also known as John's hawk-eagle or the white-headed eagle. This hand-coloured lithograph, created in the 19th century, captures the eagle's regal presence with meticulous detail. The eagle is depicted perched on a branch, its piercing yellow eyes locked onto the horizon, scanning for prey. Its crest, made up of long, white feathers, stands tall on its head, adding to its imposing appearance. The eagle's beak is hooked and powerful, a testament to its status as a formidable bird of prey. Blyth's hawk-eagle is a resident of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is a large eagle, with a wingspan of up to 7 feet, and is a member of the Accipitridae family, which also includes other birds of prey such as eagles, hawks, and harriers. The eagle is a diurnal hunter, meaning it hunts during the day, and feeds primarily on snakes, lizards, and other reptiles. This beautiful illustration, created by the skilled artisans of John Gould's team, showcases the intricacies of the eagle's plumage, from the white head and underparts to the brown wings and tail. The attention to detail is truly remarkable, making this a must-have for any avian enthusiast or collector of natural history prints. The lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, providing a window into the natural world of the past.
