Plate 43 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Stunning Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Eurasian Dotterel, Charadrius morinellus This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 43 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), showcases the intricate details of the Eurasian Dotterel, Charadrius morinellus. The image captures a flock of these birds in their mottled brown plumage, gathered together in a grassy area during daytime hours. The Eurasian Dotterel is a small wading bird belonging to the Charadriiformes order and the Charadriidae family. Known for their long, slender legs and distinctive, upright posture, these birds are well adapted for life in various habitats, including wetlands, grasslands, and tundra. The anatomy of the Eurasian Dotterel is beautifully depicted in this illustration. The bird's long, pointed bill is evident, as well as its bright, orange-red eyes that provide a striking contrast to its brown body. The intricate patterns on the bird's feathers are expertly rendered, showcasing the artist's skill and attention to detail. This image, produced during the 19th century, is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of the time. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the illustration, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art. The Eurasian Dotterel remains an intriguing and beautiful species, and this lithograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of over a century ago.
