EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 90 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873) showcases the intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Little Crake, Porzana parva. This nineteenth-century illustration captures the moment as the little crake calls, standing outside among a vibrant display of daytime blooms. The avian subject, a member of the Gruiformes order and the family Rallidae, is depicted with its distinctive blue-grey plumage, short neck, and long, slender legs. The illustration's background is adorned with a variety of flowering plants, showcasing the rich diversity of angiosperms or flowering plants that were prevalent during the daytime in Great Britain during the 19th century. The artist has meticulously captured the delicate details of the flowers, from their petals to their veins, creating a stunning contrast against the crisp, blue-grey feathers of the Little Crake. The Little Crake is a shy and elusive bird, typically found in marshy habitats and wetlands. This illustration offers a rare glimpse into the natural world of the past, providing a glimpse into the intricate relationship between birds and the flowering plants that surrounded them during their daytime hours. The hand-coloured lithograph technique employed by John Gould and his team allowed for a level of detail and accuracy that was unmatched during the 19th century. Each print was a work of art in its own right, making this an invaluable resource for ornithologists, naturalists, and collectors alike. This beautiful illustration invites us to appreciate the delicate balance of nature that existed long ago, a time when birds and flowers thrived together in the daytime landscapes of Great Britain.
