EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 66 from John Gould's renowned publication, "The Birds of Great Britain," Vol. 5, showcases the intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Little Gull (Larus minutus), also known as the Hooded Gull or Dwarf Gull. This exquisite illustration, created in the 19th century, captures the essence of this small, elegant seabird in stunning detail. The Little Gull is depicted in mid-display, with its wings slightly spread, revealing the distinctive black hood and white "mirror" on its wings. Its long, pointed bill, which is typically yellow with a red tip, is open, adding to the dynamic and engaging nature of the image. The grey plumage of the bird contrasts beautifully with the watery background, creating a serene and picturesque scene. The Little Gull is a member of the Laridae family, which also includes larger gulls such as the Herring Gull and the Great Black-backed Gull. This charadriiforme bird is known for its agility and acrobatic flight, making it a fascinating subject for naturalists and birdwatchers alike. The intricate hand-colouring of this lithograph adds an extra layer of depth and realism to the illustration, making it a beautiful addition to any collection of natural history prints or ornithological studies. This image offers a glimpse into the natural world of the past, providing a window into the world of the Little Gull and the rich biodiversity of Great Britain during the 19th century.
