EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 18 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873) showcases the intricately detailed hand-coloured lithograph of the Little Bustard, or Tetrax tetrax. This stunning illustration captures the essence of this elegant and elusive bird, which is known for its distinctive brown and grey plumage, collar of feathers around its neck, and long, powerful legs. The Little Bustard is a member of the Aves class, specifically the Eudicot, Angiospermae, and Asterales orders. It is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the day, and can be found in grasslands and open farmland across Europe and Asia. In the illustration, the Little Bustard is depicted in its natural habitat, surrounded by various flowering plants, including composites, such as dandelions, which are part of the Asteraceae family. The illustration's intricate details and vibrant colours bring the bird to life, highlighting its unique features and the delicate beauty of the surrounding flora. The use of hand-colouring adds a level of artistry and depth to the print, making it a valuable addition to any natural history collection. The Little Bustard is an important species within the avian world, and this illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world during the 19th century. The illustration also showcases the exceptional skill and artistry of the lithographers and colourists of the time, who were able to capture the essence of the subject matter with remarkable accuracy and detail.
