EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph depicts the Lanner Falcon, Falco biarmicus, a bird of prey native to Africa. The image is taken from John Gould's "The Birds of Great Britain," Volume 1, published in 1873. The Lanner Falcon is a medium-sized falcon with distinctive brown and cream plumage, a distinctive brow line above its eyes, and long, powerful legs and feet. The Falco biarmicus is a diurnal bird, meaning it hunts during the day. It is a versatile predator, feeding on a variety of prey including rodents, birds, and reptiles. In the illustration, the Lanner Falcon is shown in a hunting pose, with its head turned to the side and its sharp, hooked beak open, as if ready to seize its prey. The intricate details of the Lanner Falcon's anatomy are beautifully rendered in this hand-coloured lithograph. The delicate feathers on its wings and tail are expertly depicted, as are the textures of its brow and the veins on its feet. The artist has also captured the intensity and focus in the bird's piercing yellow eyes, which convey the Lanner Falcon's fierce and determined nature. The Lanner Falcon is a member of the Falconidae family, which also includes other well-known birds of prey such as the Peregrine Falcon and the Merlin. The illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the 19th century naturalists and illustrators who dedicated themselves to documenting the natural world in such meticulous detail.
