EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph depicts a Regulus regulus, or goldcrest, a tiny, vibrant bird native to Europe and Asia. The goldcrest is a passerine, belonging to the order Passeriformes, and is renowned for being the smallest bird in Europe. The bird is perched on a mossy branch, adorned with lichen and various bryophytes, adding an element of natural beauty to the illustration. The goldcrest's distinctive crest, resembling a miniature crown, is prominently displayed, adding to its regal appearance. The bird is shown in daytime, with its bright yellow feathers contrasting against the lush greens of the moss and plants. The intricate details of the goldcrest's plumage, as well as the textures of the moss and lichen, are expertly rendered in the hand-colouring. The goldcrest is often seen perching alone or in pairs, making this illustration a perfect representation of this elusive and charming bird. This plate is from Paul Jerrard's "Gems for the Drawing Room: British Birds," published in 1852, and is an excellent example of the high-quality bird illustrations produced during the Victorian era.
