EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 35 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 2 (1873) showcases the elegant and intricately detailed illustration of the Fieldfare, Turdus pilaris. This hand-coloured lithograph captures the beauty and anatomy of this passerine bird with remarkable precision. The Fieldfare is depicted perched on a branch, its grey-brown plumage contrasting against the cream-colored background. The long, curved beak and distinctive brow are prominent features of this bird, which is known for its distinctive eye stripe. The Fieldfare is a migratory bird, traveling from its northern European breeding grounds to spend the winter in the United Kingdom. This image captures the bird in its daytime habitat, outside in the natural world. The illustration's intricate details reveal the delicate anatomy of the bird, from the feathers on its wings to the texture of its feathers. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain was a groundbreaking work in ornithology, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of over 700 bird species native to the United Kingdom. This plate, in particular, showcases the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the Fieldfare, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the illustration, bringing the Fieldfare to life in a way that a image could not. The use of colour also highlights the bird's natural camouflage, making it blend seamlessly into its environment. Overall, this stunning illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of John Gould's work and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
