Plate 146: Gavia artica, the Black-throated Diver, from George Edwards' The Natural History of Uncommon Birds, Volume 3 (1750). This exquisite hand-coloured copperplate etching showcases the intricate details of this fascinating waterbird. The Black-throated Diver, also known as the Black-throated Loon or Diving Loon, is a member of the Gaviidae family, order Gaviiformes, and is native to the Northern Hemisphere. The image captures the bird in its natural habitat, with its sleek grey body and distinctive black throat, as well as its webbed feet and long, pointed bill. The back of the bird is depicted in shades of grey, while the belly and underparts are delicately coloured in white and black. The Black-throated Diver is shown in the act of diving for food, with several fish in its belly, highlighting its skill as a skilled fisher. George Edwards' meticulous attention to detail is evident in the anatomy of the bird, from the individual feathers on its wings to the muscles and bones of its body. The etching also reveals the unique adaptations of the Black-throated Diver, such as its streamlined shape and the ability to hold its breath for extended periods underwater. This beautiful and historically significant print is a testament to the natural history art of the 18th century and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of this remarkable bird. The Black-throated Diver continues to be a popular subject of study and appreciation among ornithologists and naturalists today.
