EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 43 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Common Rosefinch, Carpodacus erythrinus. This beautiful passerine bird is perched gracefully on a long, slender branch, its vibrant plumage a striking contrast against the natural backdrop of the outdoors. The Common Rosefinch, also known as the European Rosefinch or the Common Redpoll, is a small bird belonging to the Fringillidae family and the Passeriformes order. Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, this bird is characterized by its distinctive red face mask and pinkish-brown wings, with a yellow patch on the wings visible in flight. The male and female have similar plumage, but the female is slightly less colorful. This illustration captures the bird in its daytime habitat, showcasing its elegant form and intricate details. The conical seed cone in the foreground adds a touch of naturalism to the image, emphasizing the bird's diet of seeds and grains. The Common Rosefinch is often seen in pairs or small flocks, and is known to feed on a variety of seeds, buds, and fruits. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a renowned ornithological work, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of over 800 species of birds native to the British Isles. This hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, providing a window into the natural world of the 19th century.
