EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 67 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873), features a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Sabines Gull, Xema sabini, also known as the Long-billed Sabine Gull or the Grey Sabine. This nineteenth-century illustration showcases the distinctive features of this charadriiforme bird, with its brown hood and grey back, wings, and underparts. The Sabines Gull is a member of the Laridae family, and its long, pointed bill is a notable characteristic, making it easily identifiable. The Sabines Gull is named after the Sabine people, an ancient Italian tribe, and was first described by the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi in 1599. This gull is a migratory species, breeding in the Arctic regions and wintering in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. The illustration captures the Sabines Gull in its natural habitat, outside, during daytime. The bird is depicted in a relaxed pose, standing on a rocky shore, with its wings slightly spread, revealing the intricate patterns on its wings. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing out the details of the Sabines Gull's plumage and making it a beautiful addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a seminal work in the history of ornithology, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of over 1,100 bird species found in Great Britain and its surrounding waters. The series was produced between 1832 and 1837 and remains an important reference for bird enthusiasts and scientists to this day.
