EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph is Plate 18 from John Gould's renowned series, "The Birds of Great Britain," Volume 1, published in 1873. The image captures the Eurasian Hobby, scientifically known as Falco subbuteo, a falcon in the family Falconidae. This agile bird of prey is depicted perched on a gnarled branch, its sharp, hooked beak and piercing eyes focused intently on its prey. The Eurasian Hobby, also known as the European Shikra or the Eastern Hobby, is a small, slender falcon with a brown back and grey underparts. The intricate details of the Falco subbuteo's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this lithograph, showcasing its hexapod prey clutched in its powerful foot. Hexapods, which include insects and crustaceans, are a significant food source for this bird of prey. The Eurasian Hobby is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the day, and is often found in open woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands. The artistry of this 19th-century print is evident in the delicate hand-colouring, which adds depth and vibrancy to the image. The use of naturalistic colours enhances the realism of the Falco subbuteo, making it a captivating addition to any collection of natural history prints or ornithological studies. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the skill and dedication of the naturalists and artists of the 19th century, who sought to document and preserve the beauty and diversity of the natural world for future generations.
