Plate 16 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Striking and Detailed Hand-Colored Lithograph of the Common Buttonquail (Turnix sylvaticus) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 16 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), showcases the intricate details of the Common Buttonquail (Turnix sylvaticus). The image captures the bird perched on a mottled orange and brown background, displaying its distinctive plumage and unique features. The Common Buttonquail, also known as the Common Quail or the English Quail, is a small ground-dwelling bird belonging to the Charadriiformes order. This bird is native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, and is known for its cryptic appearance, making it an excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. The Common Buttonquail is depicted in this illustration with its head turned towards the viewer, revealing its orange-brown eyes and cream-colored wattles. The bird's body is covered in a mottled pattern of brown and orange feathers, with a distinctive black and white stripe on its breast. The pair of birds in the image are shown in their daytime habitat, adding to the authenticity of the illustration. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain was a comprehensive work that documented all the known bird species in Great Britain during the 19th century. This hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The Common Buttonquail, although not currently considered endangered, is an important part of the avian world and continues to be studied and appreciated by bird enthusiasts and natural historians alike.
