Plate 4 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873): A Vivid and Detailed Hand-Colored Lithograph of Motacilla flava thunbergi, the Yellow Wagtail This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 4 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 3 (1873), showcases the captivating beauty of Motacilla flava thunbergi, the Yellow Wagtail. The intricate illustration, created during the nineteenth century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the anatomy and distinctive features of this passerine bird. The Yellow Wagtail, a member of the Motacillidae family and the Passeriformes order, is depicted in its vibrant plumage. The bird's long, slender body is adorned with a striking yellow underbelly, contrasting against its grey head and wings. Its head is tilted slightly, as if in curiosity, and its long, pointed bill is open, suggesting a readiness to feed. The bird's green legs and feet add to its overall charm. The illustration captures the Yellow Wagtail in its natural habitat, outside amidst the daytime landscape. The artist meticulously hand-coloured each detail, from the intricate patterns on the bird's feathers to the subtle shading that brings the image to life. The result is a stunning work of art that transports us back to the 19th century and invites us to appreciate the intricacies of this passerine species. John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain is a remarkable collection of hand-coloured lithographs that showcase the natural history of Britain's avian population during the Victorian era. This particular plate, featuring the Yellow Wagtail, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, offering a captivating glimpse into the world of these fascinating birds.
