EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 87 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the elusive Corncrake, Crex crex. This beautiful illustration captures the distinctive appearance of this intriguing bird, with its brown, speckled plumage, long legs, and distinctive red eyes. The Corncrake is a member of the Gruiformes order, belonging to the family Cracidae, and is known for its unique, melodic call that sounds like the creaking of a gate. The Corncrake is depicted in this illustration in its natural habitat, surrounded by a lush, flowering landscape. The background is adorned with a variety of angiosperms, or flowering plants, adding a vibrant and colourful backdrop to the scene. The Corncrake is shown in the act of locomotion, with one leg raised, demonstrating its agile and nimble movements. The Corncrake is a ground-dwelling bird that is native to Europe and Asia. It is typically found in wet grasslands and meadows, and is most active during the daytime. Despite its intriguing appearance and distinctive call, the Corncrake is an elusive bird that is often difficult to spot in the wild. This illustration provides a rare and up-close look at this fascinating bird, preserving its beauty and character for future generations. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a seminal work in the field of ornithology, showcasing the natural history and artistry of the birds of 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, and remains a valuable resource for bird enthusiasts and historians alike.
