EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 42 from John Gould's renowned work, "The Birds of Great Britain," vol. 4 (1873), presents a captivating and intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Little Ringed Plover, Charadrius dubius. This nineteenth-century illustration showcases the bird in its natural habitat, standing proudly on a sandy shore with a pebbled nest and two eggs nestled nearby. The Little Ringed Plover, a member of the Charadriiformes order and the Charadriidae family, is characterized by its distinctive mask-like facial markings, long, slender bill, and brownish-grey plumage. Its collar, visible in this illustration, is a thin, darker band around its neck. John Gould's masterful depiction of the Little Ringed Plover captures the essence of this elusive and elegant wading bird. The daytime scene is brought to life through the meticulous use of colour, with the bird's grey-brown feathers contrasting beautifully against the sandy background. The intricately detailed illustration also highlights the bird's long, slender legs and its alert, focused expression, as it scans the daytime shoreline for food. The Little Ringed Plover is a small, agile bird that is well adapted to its coastal habitat. It is a migratory species, breeding in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and wintering in Africa and southern Asia. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this remarkable bird, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich biodiversity of the world during the nineteenth century.
