EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 55 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 2 (1873) showcases the intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Dunnock, or hedge accentor (Prunella modularis). This nineteenth-century illustration captures the moment as a brown and grey-hued Dunnock perches confidently on a thin, gnarled branch, set against the backdrop of a lush, green hedge. The Dunnock, a small passerine bird, is a common resident of hedgerows, gardens, and woodlands across Europe and Asia. Known for its distinctive brown and grey plumage, this bird is often mistaken for a sparrow, but it is actually a member of the accentor family. The Dunnock is a solitary bird, typically found alone or in pairs, and is an omnivorous feeder, consuming a variety of seeds, insects, and fruit. This illustration not only showcases the natural beauty of the Dunnock but also transports us back in time to the daytime scenes of rural England during the 19th century.
