EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 53 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Vol. 5 (1873), features an exquisitely detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the European Shag, Phalacrocorax aristotelis. This magnificent illustration showcases the European Shag's distinctive crest, which adds an air of regality to this impressive seabird. The intricate anatomy of the European Shag is on full display, with its webbed feet and long, slender bill perfectly adapted for its aquatic lifestyle. The European Shag is depicted outside of its nest, with a solitary egg hatching under its watchful gaze. The daytime setting of the illustration highlights the vibrant greens of the surrounding foliage, providing a stunning contrast to the black and white plumage of the bird. The European Shag is a member of the Phalacrocoracidae family, and is native to the European Atlantic coast and the Mediterranean. This beautiful illustration was produced during the 19th century by the renowned English publisher, John Gould. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-colouring techniques make this a truly exceptional work of art, showcasing the European Shag in all its glory. The European Shag is an intriguing bird, both in its appearance and its behaviour, and this illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into its world. Whether you are an ornithologist, a natural history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the natural world, this European Shag print is a must-have addition to any collection.
