Plate 10 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873): A Stunning Hand-Colored Lithograph of Anthus petrosus, the Eurasian Rock Pipit This exquisite hand-colored lithograph, Plate 10 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873), showcases the intricate details of the Eurasian Rock Pipit (Anthus petrosus). The pipit is depicted perched on a rocky shore, its brown plumage contrasting against the gray-blue background of the ocean. The long, curved beak and the pipit's alert posture are evident, as it scans the shoreline for food. John Gould, a renowned English publisher and printmaker, produced The Birds of Great Britain between 1832 and 1837. The series consisted of 365 plates, each meticulously hand-colored by skilled artists and lithographers. This plate, created in the 19th century, showcases the exceptional artistry of the time. The Eurasian Rock Pipit is a small, brown wading bird belonging to the Motacillidae family. It is a common bird found in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. These birds are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day. They are often found near water, feeding on insects, molluscs, and other invertebrates. This beautiful lithograph not only showcases the stunning detail of the Eurasian Rock Pipit but also transports us back in time to the 19th century, when natural history illustrations were a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
