"Bimaculated Duck, Male", "Pomarine Skua", "Steller's Pochard", and "Spectacle Scoter" are ornithological illustrations by Prideaux John Selby, a British ornithologist, botanist, and artist known for his detailed and accurate depictions of birds. These works are part of Selby's significant contributions to the field of ornithology in the 19th century, particularly through his publication "Illustrations of British Ornithology" (1821–1834), which was the first set of life-sized illustrations of British birds, predating John James Audubon's "The Birds of America".

Selby's illustrations are notable for their scientific accuracy and artistic quality, capturing the birds in their natural habitats with precision and attention to detail. The "Bimaculated Duck, Male" likely refers to a depiction of the drake of a duck species characterized by two spots or markings, which could be an artistic interpretation of a specific duck species or a variation within a species. "Pomarine Skua" is an illustration of the seabird species Stercorarius pomarinus, known for its robust build and distinctive spoon-shaped tail projections during the breeding season. "Steller's Pochard" would represent the now-extinct duck species Rhodonessa caryophyllacea, named after the German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller. Lastly, "Spectacle Scoter" could be an artistic representation of a scoter species, which are sea ducks known for their colorful bills and sociable behavior.

These works exemplify Selby's skill in rendering avian subjects with scientific fidelity and are valuable for both their historical significance in ornithological literature and their aesthetic appeal. They contribute to the understanding of bird species of the time and remain important records for both ornithologists and art historians. Selby's influence on the field of bird illustration set a standard for future works and helped to popularize the study of birds in Britain and beyond.
