EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 20 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Common Pochard, Aythya ferina. This beautiful duck species is depicted in its natural habitat, with its distinctive green and purple head, white underparts, and black and white striped back. The Common Pochard is a medium-sized bird in the Anatidae family, commonly found in Europe, Asia, and North America. John Gould's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate anatomy of the Common Pochard's head and body, from the delicate feather patterns to the subtle textures of its skin. The artist has captured the bird's alert and curious expression, as it gazes intently at the viewer with its bright, orange eyes. The Common Pochard is a dabbling duck, which means it feeds by upending itself in the water to reach underwater vegetation and aquatic invertebrates. This image captures the bird in its daytime surroundings, with the sun casting a warm glow over the water's surface. The artist has expertly rendered the reflections of the surrounding trees and foliage on the water, adding depth and dimension to the scene. The Common Pochard is an important species in the Anseriformes order, which includes swans, geese, and ducks. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world in the 19th century, and a reminder of the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures for future generations.
