EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 13 from John Gould's renowned publication, "The Birds of Great Britain," Volume 1 (1873), showcases the striking image of a gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) in its natural habitat. This hand-coloured lithograph, a beautiful example of nineteenth-century ornithological illustration, captures the gyrfalcon's powerful presence and intricate plumage in exquisite detail. The gyrfalcon, a large falcon species native to the Arctic regions, is depicted in this illustration as it perches on a rocky outcrop, poised for its next hunt. Its long, pointed wings are folded neatly behind it, while its sharp, hooked beak and piercing eyes convey an intense focus and determination. The artist has expertly captured the textures of the gyrfalcon's feathers, from the delicate downy covering on its head and underparts to the bold, dark bars on its wings. The gyrfalcon is a master of the Arctic tundra, where it preys upon a variety of birds and mammals. In this illustration, we can imagine the bird's next meal – perhaps a ptarmigan or a lemming – darting through the snowy landscape, unaware of the deadly predator lurking nearby. This image, a testament to the skill and artistry of John Gould and his team of talented illustrators, invites us to explore the natural world and appreciate the beauty and power of one of its most magnificent creatures. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the illustration, making it a true masterpiece of nineteenth-century ornithological art.
