EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the striking features of the White-backed Woodpecker (Dendrocopos leucotos), a moustached avian species belonging to the Picidae family. The bird is depicted in meticulous detail, perched on a tree trunk with its distinctive white back and black and white plumage on full display. Its long, curved beak is poised, ready to tap into the hollowed-out tree to search for insects, larvae, and grubs. The illustration is a beautiful example of 19th century ornithological art, created during the height of the Victorian era's fascination with natural history. It was produced by the renowned English publisher and printmaker, John Gould, and forms part of his comprehensive series, "Birds of Great Britain." This series was widely popular and influential during its time, providing an accurate record of the birds found in Britain and inspiring a deep appreciation for the natural world. The White-backed Woodpecker is a large, powerful bird, with a body length of around 35-38 cm and a wingspan of 55-60 cm. It is a resident of Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, and is commonly found in wooded areas, forests, and orchards. This woodpecker is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the day, and is often seen perching on tree trunks or branches, searching for food or communicating with other members of its species. This illustration not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of the White-backed Woodpecker but also provides a glimpse into the rich natural history of the 19th century, a time when the study and documentation of the natural world was a source of great fascination and inspiration.
