EDITORS COMMENTS
of John and Elizabeth Gould's "The Birds of Europe," Vol. 2, features a stunning hand-colored lithograph of the Mistle Thrush (Turdus viscivorus). Dating back to the 19th century, this exquisite illustration showcases the Mistle Thrush's distinctive appearance with remarkable detail. John Gould, a renowned English publisher and print seller, and his wife Elizabeth, an accomplished artist, collaborated on this impressive work. The Mistle Thrush is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its long, brown legs and grey-brown plumage contrasting beautifully with the lush green foliage. In its beak, the bird holds a ripe berry, possibly from a mistletoe plant. The Mistle Thrush is known for its preference for feeding on mistletoe berries, making this association a fitting choice for the illustration. The Mistle Thrush is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm, which is a flowering plant with two embryonic seeds. It belongs to the magnoliophyta division, which includes all flowering plants. This bird is a member of the aves class, which includes all birds, and the order Turdidae, which includes thrushes. The intricate details of the Mistle Thrush's plumage, beak, and legs, as well as the realistic rendering of the mistletoe branch and berries, demonstrate the exceptional skill and artistry of John and Elizabeth Gould. Their work continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and accuracy, offering a glimpse into the natural world of Europe during the 19th century.
