EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 27 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873) showcases the intricately detailed hand-colored lithograph of the Ortolan Bunting, Emberiza hortulana. This beautiful avian specimen, a member of the Emberizidae family and the Passeriformes order, is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, surrounded by lush greenery. The Ortolan Bunting is a small, brown and green bird, with a distinctive round head and short, stout beak. This pair of birds are shown in their natural habitat, outside, during daytime hours. John Gould's meticulous anatomical illustration captures the intricacies of the Ortolan Bunting's feathers, skeletal structure, and other physical characteristics. The hand-coloring adds a vibrant touch to the image, bringing the bird to life and highlighting its striking features. The Ortolan Bunting, also known as the American Sparrow, is a migratory bird that breeds in Europe and Asia, and winters in Africa. It is a popular game bird in Europe, particularly in France, where it is traditionally eaten whole, including the young birds that are fattened in the wild. This practice, known as "ortolanism," is a controversial and debated topic due to concerns over the sustainability and ethics of the practice. Despite its small size, the Ortolan Bunting is a fascinating and beautiful bird, and John Gould's illustration provides a captivating glimpse into its world. The image is a testament to the artist's skill and the advancements in printing technology during the 19th century, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology.
