EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 3 from John Gould's renowned work, "The Birds of Great Britain," Volume 1, published in 1873, showcases the magnificent greater spotted eagle (Aquila clanga) in stunning detail. This hand-coloured lithograph captures the eagle in its natural habitat, perched majestically on a gnarled branch. The eagle's piercing yellow eyes and hooked beak are prominently displayed, revealing its predatory nature. The greater spotted eagle, a member of the Accipitridae family and the Accipitriformes order, is a bird of prey native to Europe and Asia. Known for its distinctive brown plumage, this bird of prey is a powerful hunter, preying on a variety of animals, including rodents, rabbits, and even other birds. The eagle's pose in this illustration exudes a sense of calm and strength, as if it is surveying its territory from atop its perch. The intricate details in the feathers, the texture of the branch, and the naturalistic colours all contribute to the lifelike quality of this nineteenth-century artwork. The greater spotted eagle is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the day. It is a fascinating creature that has captured the imagination of naturalists and artists for centuries. This beautiful hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of John Gould and his team, and a reminder of the natural wonders that can be found in the world around us.
