EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a female Ruddy Shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea), also known as the Ruddy Duck or Grey-headed Duck. The image is taken from a specimen in the possession of Thomas Pennant, a renowned Welsh naturalist, antiquarian, and author. The engraving was expertly produced by Peter Brown for Pennant's groundbreaking work, "New Illustrations of Zoology," published by B. White in London in 1776. The Ruddy Shelduck is a distinctive waterfowl species, with a vibrant chestnut-red bill and legs, and a grey-brown head. Females, as depicted in this engraving, have a more muted coloration compared to the males, with a grey-brown head and neck, and a brown body speckled with white. The Ruddy Shelduck is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and can be found in a variety of wetland habitats, including marshes, ponds, and shallow lakes. They are omnivorous, feeding on a diet that includes aquatic plants, seeds, and insects, as well as mollusks and small fish. This exquisite engraving is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time, providing a valuable record of the natural world and the scientific curiosity that drove early naturalists like Thomas Pennant. The Ruddy Shelduck remains a popular and beloved species among birdwatchers and naturalists today, and this beautiful image continues to inspire appreciation for the natural world and the rich biodiversity it contains.
