EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 37 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 5 (1873) presents a stunning hand-coloured lithograph of the Smew (Mergellus albellus), a distinctive duck species belonging to the Merganser family (Anatidae). The image captures the bird in its full glory, with its distinctive crest of long, pointed feathers raised proudly atop its head. The Smew is a medium-sized duck, with a long, slender body and a mask-like pattern of black and white feathers around its eyes. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of the Smew's plumage, from the iridescent green and purple sheen on its back and wings to the fine, white stripes on its chest and sides. The bird's beak, which is long and serrated, is open slightly, as if ready to dive into the water in search of food. The Smew is a native of Europe and Asia, and is often found in large bodies of water such as lakes and reservoirs. This bird is a strong swimmer and diver, and is well adapted to life in the water. It is a migratory species, and spends the winter in southern Europe and Asia before returning to its breeding grounds in the north during the spring. The Smew is an interesting bird to observe during the daytime hours, as it is often seen swimming alone or in small groups, with its distinctive crest standing tall as a sign of its alertness and vigilance. This beautiful illustration by John Gould provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing and elegant bird species.
