EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 23 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Cirl Bunting, Emberiza cirlus. This exquisite avian specimen is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its vibrant plumage a beautiful contrast against the lush greenery of the clematis vine that entwines the background. The Cirl Bunting is a small, brown and green bird belonging to the family Emberizidae, order Passeriformes, and class Aves. It is a Eudicot, specifically an Angiospermae, meaning it feeds primarily on the seeds of angiosperms, or flowering plants. The Cirl Bunting is native to Europe, particularly in the western and southern regions, and is known for its distinctive black bib and white eyestripe. The Cirl Bunting is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the daytime hours. It is often found in open habitats with low vegetation, such as heathlands and farmland. This bird is well-adapted to its environment, with a curved beak that is perfect for extracting seeds from the ground. The hand-colouring technique used in this lithograph adds a level of detail and realism that brings the Cirl Bunting to life. The intricate patterns on its feathers are beautifully rendered, and the vibrant colours are rich and true. The use of a dicotyledon flowering plant, such as the clematis, as a backdrop adds a sense of naturalism and completeness to the image. Overall, this plate is a testament to the artistry and skill of the natural history illustrators of the 19th century.
