EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 31: Passer iagoensis, or the Cape Verde Sparrow, is depicted in this stunning hand-colored lithograph by John and Elizabeth Gould, taken from the third part of Charles Darwin's seminal work, "Zoology of the Voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle." This illustration, created during the 19th century, provides a detailed and accurate representation of this intriguing bird species. The Cape Verde Sparrow, also known as the Iago Sparrow, is native to the Cape Verde Islands off the western coast of Africa. This small, brown bird is characterized by its long, pointed wings and a distinctive white bib that contrasts sharply with its brown belly and chest. The bird is perched on a branch, showcasing its slender beak and the intricate patterns on its feathers. The illustration was produced under the direction of Charles Darwin, who served as the naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagle during its historic voyage from 1831 to 1836. The work was published in collaboration with Captain Robert FitzRoy, the ship's commander, and showcases the extensive research and observations made during the expedition. John and Elizabeth Gould were renowned for their exceptional skill in producing hand-colored lithographs, which brought a new level of detail and accuracy to scientific illustration. This plate is a testament to their artistry and the groundbreaking work of Darwin and the H.M.S. Beagle expedition.
