EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving depicts the Grey-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus poiocephalus), also known as the Grey Cap or Western Grey-headed Gull, native to the Atlantic and Indian coasts of Western Africa. The image is taken from Sir William Jardine's Naturalists Library: Ornithology, published in Edinburgh by W.H. Lizars in 1837. The illustration is the work of the skilled engraver William Lizars, after the original watercolour painting by the renowned naturalist and artist William Swainson. The Grey-headed Gull is a medium-sized gull with distinctive grey plumage on its head and neck, contrasting with its white body and wings. This gull is an opportunistic feeder, feeding on fish, crustaceans, molluscs, and other marine life, as well as scavenging on carrion and human waste. They are often found in large colonies near the coast, and are known to be long-lived birds, with some individuals reaching up to 30 years of age. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of this handcoloured steel engraving provide an accurate and beautiful representation of the Grey-headed Gull, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry of the time. This historic image offers a glimpse into the natural world of Western Africa during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the diverse wildlife that inhabits our planet.
