EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph is Plate 2 from John Gould's renowned series, "The Birds of Great Britain," Volume 4, published in 1873. The subject of this image is the Stock Dove, scientifically known as Columba oenas. The iridescent blue sheen on the bird's plumage is beautifully rendered, making it a standout addition to any natural history collection. The Stock Dove, a member of the Columbidae family and the Columbiformes order, is a common bird found throughout Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. Known for their distinctive grey and blue-grey colouring, these birds are often found perched on branches, making them a familiar sight in woodlands and farmlands during daytime hours. The Stock Dove derives its name from the hollow sound of its cooing call, which can be heard outside during daytime hours. These birds are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of seeds, fruits, and insects. They are also known to form long-term pair bonds and return to the same nesting sites year after year. This exquisite illustration showcases the intricate details of the Stock Dove's anatomy, from the delicate feathers on its wings to the subtle textures of its beak and feet. The naturalistic background further enhances the sense of realism, transporting us to the woodlands and forests where these birds thrive. Hand-coloured lithographs like this one were a popular means of recording and preserving the natural world during the 19th century. John Gould's "The Birds of Great Britain" series remains a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of the Victorian era.
