EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 72 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Stunning Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Little Stint, Calidris minuta This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph depicts the Little Stint, Calidris minuta, a small wading bird belonging to the family Scolopacidae and the order Charadriiformes. The illustration is Plate 72 from John Gould's renowned series, The Birds of Great Britain, published in four volumes between 1832 and 1837. This particular plate was produced in the fourth volume, released in 1873. The Little Stint is shown in its natural habitat, standing on a rocky shoreline surrounded by holly (Ilex aquifolium), a common evergreen shrub in the angiosperms family, Aquifoliaceae. The bird is depicted in its daytime attire, with its cream-coloured underparts, brown upperparts, and distinctive black and white stripes on its legs and bill. The Little Stint is an eudicot, a type of flowering plant that has two embryonic seed leaves, and is part of the asterid clade, a large group of angiosperms. The illustration showcases the intricate details of the bird's plumage and anatomy, which were meticulously captured by the skilled artists and colourists of the time. The use of hand colouring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the print, making it a beautiful addition to any natural history collection. The Little Stint is shown in a serene and peaceful setting, providing a glimpse into the natural world of the late 19th century. This hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time, and a reminder of the fascination with the natural world that drove the production of such detailed and stunning illustrations. The Little Stint remains an intriguing and beautiful bird, and this illustration continues to capture the imagination and admiration of bird enthusiasts and natural history lovers alike.
