EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 17 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 2 (1873), presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), a small yet vibrant bird belonging to the Muscicapidae family. The illustration captures the bird perched confidently on a long, slender branch, its black and white plumage contrasting sharply against the lush green foliage of the forest. The Pied Flycatcher, also known as the European Pied Flycatcher or Muscicapa atricapilla, is a migratory bird that breeds in Europe and Asia. This bird is a beloved member of the Aves order, specifically the Passeriformes family, and is known for its agile flight and skillful hunting abilities. John Gould's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this exquisite illustration. The intricately coloured feathers, the beady black eyes, and the expressive, curved beak all contribute to the lifelike quality of the image. The artist has also captured the bird's alert posture and the slight tilt of its head, suggesting a keen awareness of its surroundings. The Pied Flycatcher is a daytime bird, spending its days hunting insects and other small invertebrates in open woodlands and orchards. This illustration provides a glimpse into the beauty and grace of this bird in its natural habitat, offering a window into the natural world of the nineteenth century.
