EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 73 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5, presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Little Tern or Sterna albifrons. This exquisite illustration, created in the 19th century, showcases the delicate beauty and grace of this small seabird. With its fluffy grey-brown back, white underparts, and black wingtips, the Little Tern is a sight to behold. Its distinctive forked bill and forehead shield add character to its appearance, while its long, pointed wings suggest the agility and grace of a skilled flyer. The Little Tern is a member of the Laridae family, which also includes gulls and terns. It is a charadriiform bird, meaning it belongs to the larger group of wading birds that includes plovers, sandpipers, and skuas. This bird is a daytime species, spending its days hunting for food over the water or on the shore. The Little Tern is a long-distance migrant, traveling between its breeding grounds in the Arctic and its wintering grounds in the Mediterranean and Africa. This image captures the bird in flight, with its legs extended and its wings outstretched, suggesting the dynamic and energetic nature of this bird in motion. The intricate details of the illustration, from the individual feathers on the wings to the texture of the bird's plumage, are a testament to the skill of the lithographers and colourists who worked on The Birds of Great Britain series. This beautiful and historic print is a must-have for any avian enthusiast or collector of natural history illustrations.
