EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 73 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), presents a stunning and intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Temminck's Stint, Calidris temminckii. This beautiful avian specimen is depicted outside, in a natural setting, standing on the edge of a nest, which is carefully concealed among the moorland vegetation. The Temminck's Stint is a small wading bird belonging to the family Scolopacidae, and the Charadriiformes order. John Gould's masterful illustration captures the anatomy of this bird with remarkable accuracy. The Temminck's Stint is characterized by its long, slender, brown body, short, straight, and pointed bill, and its distinctive eye, which appears large and expressive in the illustration. The bird's plumage is finely rendered, with intricate patterns and textures, showcasing the meticulous artistry of the lithographers and colorists. The Temminck's Stint is named after the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck, who first described the species in 1835. This bird is known to inhabit wetlands and moorlands in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and is typically found in daytime hours. The illustration captures the Temminck's Stint in the act of incubating its eggs, which are not visible in the image but are suggested by the bird's posture and attentive gaze. This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the remarkable natural history knowledge and artistic skill of the nineteenth century. The intricate details and lifelike depiction of the Temminck's Stint provide a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the natural world as it was observed and documented over a century ago.
