EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 11 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873), presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Common Shelduck, Tadorna tadorna. This beautiful illustration showcases the intricate details of this common fowl from the Anatidae family. The Common Shelduck is easily recognizable with its distinctive green and brown plumage, fluffy head, and large, upturned beak. The bird is depicted in flight, with its wings spread wide, revealing the intricate anatomy of its avian form. The Common Shelduck is a native of Europe, Asia, and North America, and is a common sight during the daytime hours. This Anseriformes species is also known as the Green-headed Teal or the European Shelduck. The illustration captures the bird's anatomical features with remarkable accuracy, from the curve of its beak to the intricate patterns on its wings. The Common Shelduck is a fascinating creature, both in its adult form and as a duckling. The illustration showcases the bird's anatomy in all its glory, providing a glimpse into the intricacies of the natural world. The hand-coloured lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the 19th century, and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom.
