. This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "King Duck" showcases the exquisite beauty and regal presence of the Somateria Spectabilis. Created by renowned ornithologist and artist John Gould in the 19th century, this print is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and artistic prowess. The King Duck, also known as the King Eider, takes center stage in this composition with its striking plumage and commanding gaze. The vibrant hues meticulously applied by hand bring out every intricate feather pattern, making it an enchanting sight for any bird enthusiast or art lover. Originally featured in Gould's seminal work "The Birds of Great Britain" this particular illustration exemplifies his dedication to capturing the essence of each avian species he encountered.
