Plate 40 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Stunning Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 40 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), showcases the Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) in its natural habitat. The Kentish Plover, also known as the Common Ringed Plover, is a small, fluffy-brown wading bird with long, slender legs and a distinctive black and orange ring around its neck. The illustration captures the Kentish Plover in its daytime surroundings, likely on a sandy beach or shoreline. The bird is shown in a relaxed stance, with its head tilted slightly to one side and its beak open, possibly in search of food. The intricate details of the bird's plumage, from the delicate feathers on its head to the subtle variations in colour on its wings, are beautifully rendered in this nineteenth-century masterpiece. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain was a groundbreaking work in the field of ornithology, featuring over 700 hand-coloured lithographs of birds native to the British Isles. This plate, in particular, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers and colourists who brought these beautiful illustrations to life. The Kentish Plover is a member of the Charadriiformes order, which also includes other familiar birds such as gulls, terns, and sandpipers. This family, the Charadriidae, is characterized by their long, slender legs and their ability to run and fly with ease. The Kentish Plover is a common sight on beaches and shores around the world, and its distinctive call is a familiar sound to many birdwatchers and nature lovers.
