EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 78 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Stercorarius skua, also known as the great skua or Bonxie. This magnificent avian species is a member of the Charadriiformes order and the Sauropsida class, which includes reptiles and birds. The illustration captures the great skua in its natural habitat, perched on a cliffside overlooking the crashing waves of the ocean. The bird's powerful build and sharp, hooked beak are evident, making it clear that this is a formidable predator. The intricate details of the plumage, from the dark brown back and wings to the white underbelly, are beautifully rendered in the hand-coloured lithograph. The great skua is a large seabird that is found in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. It is known for its aggressive behavior towards other seabirds, often driving them away from their nests and young to steal their eggs or chickens. The great skua builds its nest on the ground, typically in a location with a good view of the surrounding area for spotting potential prey. The geomorphology of the cliffside in the background adds to the sense of wildness and ruggedness of the scene. The great skua is shown in daytime, with the sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. This plate is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the nineteenth-century naturalists and illustrators who produced such exquisite works as part of The Birds of Great Britain series.
