EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 82 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5, presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Northern Fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis. This magnificent avian species, a member of the Procellariidae family and the order Procellariiformes, is depicted in its natural habitat, outside on a rocky cliffside. The Northern Fulmar, also known as the Northern Fulmar Petrel or simply the Fulmar, is a long-winged seabird that is well adapted to life at sea. The Northern Fulmar is easily recognizable by its greyish-brown plumage, with white underparts and a distinctive white patch on its wings. This bird is shown in a daytime setting, with its distinctive grey beak open, likely in the process of feeding. The Northern Fulmar is a pelagic bird, meaning it spends most of its life at sea, only coming to land to breed. It is one of the few procellariiformes that can take off from the water, making it an impressive sight to behold. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain was a groundbreaking work, produced between 1832 and 1837. The series consisted of 3 volumes, with each volume featuring 50 plates. This hand-coloured lithograph of the Northern Fulmar is a testament to the exceptional artistry and attention to detail of the time. The intricate feather patterns, the lifelike representation of the bird, and the beautiful colour palette all contribute to a captivating image that transports us back to the 19th century and the wonders of the natural world as they were discovered and documented.
