EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 20 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 2 (1873) showcases the intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Red-breasted Flycatcher (Ficedula parva). John Gould, a renowned ornithologist and publisher, meticulously captured the anatomy and vibrant plumage of this small bird in this nineteenth-century illustration. The Red-breasted Flycatcher is depicted perched on a gnarled branch, its long, curved beak pointed towards the ground, ready to catch its prey. The male bird is shown with a distinctive red breast, brown back, and wings, while the female has a less vibrant, more muted coloration. This pair of birds is illustrated outside, in their natural habitat, with the sun casting dappled light through the branches, adding to the serene daytime scene. The Red-breasted Flycatcher is a member of the Muscicapidae family, known for their agility and ability to flycatch. They are typically found in wooded areas, making their homes in trees and bushes. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy and behavior of this intriguing bird, offering a window into the natural world of the nineteenth century. Hand-coloured lithographs, such as this one, were a popular method of illustrating natural history during the Victorian era. The intricate details and vibrant colors brought the birds to life, making them accessible to a wider audience and contributing to a growing appreciation for the natural world. This beautiful illustration of the Red-breasted Flycatcher remains a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the time.
