EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 35 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Eurasian Stone Curlew, Burhinus oedicnemus. This beautiful illustration showcases the anatomy and intricate details of this fascinating bird, a member of the Charadriiformes family. The Eurasian Stone Curlew is depicted in its natural brown plumage, with its distinctive long, down-curved beak and piercing yellow eyes. The bird is shown in flight, its wings outstretched, revealing the intricate patterns and feather detail. The background is kept simple, allowing the bird to take center stage. John Gould's illustration captures the essence of the Eurasian Stone Curlew, which is a ground-dwelling wading bird that can be found in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is well known for its cryptic coloration, which allows it to blend in with its surroundings during the daytime hours. The bird is also known to be quite vocal, with a distinctive call that can be heard at night. The Eurasian Stone Curlew is an important species within the Burhinidae family, and this illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of its anatomy. The hand-colouring adds an extra layer of detail and depth, making this a truly captivating piece of 19th-century natural history art.
