"Yellowhammer" is a work by John Gould, a British ornithologist and bird artist known for his detailed and vibrant illustrations of birds. Gould's work on the Yellowhammer, scientifically known as Emberiza citrinella, would be part of his extensive ornithological studies and illustrations that he produced throughout the 19th century. The Yellowhammer, a passerine bird in the bunting family, is characterized by its bright yellow head and underparts, with a streaked brown back, and is native to Eurasia.

John Gould's illustration of the Yellowhammer would have been created as part of one of his many multi-volume works on birds, such as "The Birds of Europe" (1832–1837) or "The Birds of Great Britain" (1862–1873). His illustrations were known for their scientific accuracy and artistic appeal, often produced in collaboration with other artists, such as his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and later, Henry Constantine Richter, who assisted in producing the lithographs based on Gould's sketches.

Gould's works were highly influential in the field of ornithology and remain significant for both their scientific value and their artistic merit. His illustrations of birds like the Yellowhammer contributed to the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in natural history and helped to popularize birdwatching and the study of ornithology in Britain and beyond. The Yellowhammer illustration, like many of Gould's works, would have been published as a hand-colored lithograph, a process that allowed for the rich and accurate rendering of the bird's colors and details.

As an ornithological figure, John Gould's legacy includes the identification of many bird species and the production of over 3,000 plates of birds. His work on the Yellowhammer would be a single representation within this vast body of work, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
