EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 15 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873), presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Eurasian Skylark, Alauda arvensis. This exquisite illustration showcases the bird's distinctive crest, which adds to its charming and elegant appearance. The Eurasian Skylark is a member of the Alaudidae family, known for its fluffy, cream-brown plumage, and is a common bird found across Europe and Asia. The illustration captures the bird in various poses, including flying, hovering, and feeding on the ground. The artist has meticulously detailed the intricacies of the Skylark's feathers, creating a lifelike representation that transports us to the past. The use of hand-colouring adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the warm tones of the bird's plumage. The Eurasian Skylark is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the daytime. It is often seen hovering above the ground, looking for food such as seeds and insects. The bird's crest is raised when it is alarmed or excited, adding to its distinctive appearance. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the artistry and attention to detail of the Victorian era. It provides us with a glimpse into the natural world of the past and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
