EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 12 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873): A Striking Hand-Colored Lithograph of the Red-throated Pipit (Anthus cervinus) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph depicts a red-throated pipit (Anthus cervinus) perched on a cremish-brown twig against a backdrop of lush, green foliage. The pipit, a small, slender passerine bird belonging to the Motacillidae family and the Passeriformes order, is known for its distinctive red throat and cream-colored underparts. John Gould, a renowned English ornithologist and publisher, created this stunning illustration as part of his comprehensive work, "The Birds of Great Britain." Published in the mid-19th century, this series was a groundbreaking achievement in the field of ornithology, featuring meticulously detailed and accurately portrayed bird species. The red-throated pipit is a common bird found in Europe, Asia, and parts of North America. This bird is typically found in open grasslands, marshes, and meadows, making it a familiar sight during the daytime hours. The pipit's diet consists mainly of insects, which it locates by sight or by probing the ground with its long, slender bill. The artist's skillful use of color and detail is evident in this image. The pipit's vibrant red throat stands out against its cream-colored underparts and brown upperparts, while its beady eyes and intricately patterned plumage add to its lifelike appearance. The artist's attention to detail extends to the naturalistic setting, with the richly textured foliage and delicate branches providing a perfect perch for the pipit. This beautiful and intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of John Gould's work and offers a glimpse into the natural world of the 19th century.
