EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph depicts the Regulus cristatus, commonly known as the Goldcrest, a small and vibrant bird native to Europe, Asia, and North America. Plate 69 from John Gould's "The Birds of Great Britain, Vol. 2" (1873) captures the Goldcrest in exquisite detail, perched on a mossy branch adorned with cones and orange berries. The Goldcrest is a passerine bird, belonging to the order Passeriformes, and is known for its distinctive crest, which is more pronounced in the male. The Goldcrest is a popular bird among ornithologists and birdwatchers due to its unique anatomy and charming appearance. With a brown body, yellow underparts, and a black mask around its eyes, this bird is a feast for the eyes. The Goldcrest is also notable for being the smallest bird in Europe, making it an intriguing subject for natural history illustrations of the 19th century. This illustration captures the Goldcrest in its daytime habitat, outside in the natural world. The bird's intense gaze and slightly cocked head suggest a curious and alert demeanor, adding to the captivating quality of the image. The intricate detailing of the feathers, the textured bark of the branch, and the realistic representation of the cones and berries all contribute to the overall beauty and accuracy of this stunning work of art.
