EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 63 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873), presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Ross's Gull (Rhodostethia rossii). This beautiful avian species, a member of the Laridae family and the Charadriiformes order, is depicted in its elegant pink plumage, with its long pink legs and grey feet contrasting against the icy backdrop of an iceberg. The Ross's Gull is named after Sir James Clark Ross, a British naval officer and polar explorer, who discovered the gull during his expedition to the Arctic in 1819. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases the gull's anatomy, highlighting its long, pink collar, grey head, and distinctive black wingtips. The gull's beak is slightly open, as if in the midst of a call or a bite. The Ross's Gull is a migratory bird, spending its summers in the Arctic tundra and winters in the southern hemisphere. This image captures the bird in its daytime habitat, perched outside on an iceberg, showcasing its grace and poise. The Ross's Gull is a rare and elusive bird, making it a sought-after sight for birdwatchers and naturalists. This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, produced during the 19th century by the renowned English publisher John Gould, offers a rare glimpse into the natural world of the past and serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian kingdom.
