EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 56 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3, presents a stunning and intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Rosy Starling, Sturnus roseus, also known as the Pastor Roseus or Rose-coloured Starling. This beautiful passerine bird is perched gracefully on a gnarled branch, its vibrant plumage a striking contrast against the brown bark. The Rosy Starling is a sauropsid, belonging to the class Aves, and is a member of the Passeriformes order. Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, this bird is known for its rosy-red plumage, with iridescent green and purple sheen on its wings and tail. The Rosy Starling is a social bird, often found in large flocks, and is omnivorous, feeding on a variety of seeds, fruits, insects, and small invertebrates. This exquisite illustration, created in the nineteenth century, captures the essence of the Rosy Starling's beauty and charm. The intricate details of its feathers, beak, and eyes are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing the skill and artistry of the lithographer. The use of hand-colouring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of nineteenth-century ornithological illustration. The Rosy Starling is a common sight during the daytime hours, often perching on branches or wires, and is a delight to observe in its natural habitat. This illustration serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the natural world and the importance of preserving it for future generations to enjoy.
