EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate print showcases the captivating beauty of the Siberian Rubythroat, Luscinia calliope, also known as the Kamchatkan Thrush or Turdus calliope. The Siberian Rubythroat is a small, migratory bird that breeds in the northern parts of Asia, primarily in Siberia and the Russian Far East. John Latham, a renowned English naturalist and ornithologist, meticulously drew and engraved this image based on his own observations. Latham's "A General History of Birds" was published in Winchester in 1822 and is considered a significant contribution to the field of ornithology. The Siberian Rubythroat is characterized by its striking plumage. The male bird boasts a bright red throat, chest, and belly, while the female has a more subdued, brownish-gray coloration. The bird's back and wings are a mix of brown and gray, with white spots and stripes. The beak is short and curved, and the legs are long and slender. The Siberian Rubythroat is an insectivorous bird, feeding primarily on insects and their larvae during the breeding season. During migration and in the winter months, the bird's diet shifts to include berries and other fruit. This beautiful print not only serves as a testament to Latham's skill as an artist and naturalist but also provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird species. The intricate details of the Siberian Rubythroat's plumage and anatomy are captured in stunning detail, making this a must-have for any ornithology collection.
