Plate 7 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 1 (1873): A Striking Hand-Colored Lithograph of the Rough-legged Buzzard (Buteo lagopus) This exquisite hand-colored lithograph, Plate 7 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 1 (1873), showcases the captivating details of the Rough-legged Buzzard (Buteo lagopus). The image, a testament to the artistic mastery of the 19th century, portrays the bird of prey in its natural habitat, perched on a rocky outcrop against a backdrop of a serene, cream-colored sky. The Rough-legged Buzzard, a member of the Accipitridae family and the Accipitriformes order, is a striking bird with its rust-brown plumage, prominent head, and distinctive, long, rough-edged feathers on its legs and feet. This geomorphology, typical of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions, helps the bird blend seamlessly into its snowy environment. The Rough-legged Buzzard is an opportunistic hunter, feeding primarily on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. In this illustration, the bird appears poised and alert, its sharp, hooked beak and piercing eyes focused intently on its prey. The intricate details of the feathers, the texture of the rocky outcrop, and the lifelike depiction of the bird's expression all contribute to the overall beauty and authenticity of this work of art. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a seminal work in the field of ornithology, showcasing the natural history and artistic beauty of the avian world. This hand-colored lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the dedication and skill of the artists and craftsmen who brought these magnificent creatures to life on paper, preserving their essence for future generations to appreciate and marvel at.
