EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 21 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873), presents a stunning and intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca). This beautiful waterfowl, also known as the "Ruddy Duck," is depicted in its elegant plumage, with its distinctive long, curved bill and bright orange-red patches on its belly and feet. The Ferruginous Duck is a member of the Anatidae family, native to Europe, Asia, and North America. This illustration captures the bird in its daytime habitat, likely outside on a calm body of water, surrounded by lush vegetation. The artist meticulously rendered each feather, creating a lifelike image that showcases the bird's long, slender neck and sleek, streamlined body. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a seminal work in the field of ornithology, featuring high-quality, hand-coloured plates that showcase the natural history of the avian species found in Great Britain during the 19th century. This particular plate, with its exquisite attention to detail and vibrant colours, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers and colourists who worked on the project. The Ferruginous Duck is an intriguing and captivating species, with its unique appearance and distinctive calls. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, providing a window into the beauty and diversity of the avian world during the Victorian era.
