EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 23 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 1 (1873) presents a stunning and intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Milvus migrans, or Black Kite. This magnificent bird of prey is depicted perched gracefully on a gnarled branch, its wings folded behind it, and its sharp, hooked beak and piercing eyes fixed intently on the viewer. The Black Kite is a member of the Accipitridae family and the Accipitriformes order, and is known for its distinctive glossy black plumage, brown and grey wings, and long, broad tail. This exquisite illustration captures the Black Kite in its daytime hunting mode, showcasing its powerful build and agile form. The bird's keen eyes and sharp talons are perfectly adapted for its role as a predator, making it a formidable presence in the avian world. The intricate details of the feathers, the textured bark of the branch, and the subtle shading and coloring all contribute to the lifelike quality of this beautiful nineteenth-century print. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a seminal work in the field of ornithology, featuring meticulously detailed illustrations of over 800 species of birds native to the British Isles. This hand-coloured lithograph of the Milvus migrans is a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators and colorists of the time, and remains an enduring reminder of the natural beauty and diversity of the avian world in the 19th century.
