EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 31 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula). This beautiful waterfowl is displayed in all its glory, with its distinctive golden eye gleaming bright against the green background. The Common Goldeneye, a member of the Anatidae family, is a common sight in the northern hemisphere during daytime hours. The anatomy of this bird is intricately depicted in the illustration, showcasing its unique features. The male goldeneye, easily identifiable by its vibrant golden eye and green head, is shown in full plumage, with its wings spread out in a display of dominance. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued appearance, with a brown head and a white patch on her side. The Common Goldeneye is a diving duck, which means it spends most of its time in the water. It is well adapted to this aquatic lifestyle, with its large, webbed feet and streamlined body. The golden eye, which is not a true gold color but rather an iridescent orange-yellow, is a sexually dimorphic trait used by the male to attract females during the breeding season. This exquisite lithograph, created in the 19th century by the renowned publisher John Gould, is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the time. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of beauty to the illustration, bringing the Common Goldeneye to life in a way that words cannot. Whether you are an ornithologist, a natural history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this print is a must-have addition to your collection.
