Prideaux John Selby was a distinguished British ornithologist, botanist, and artist, renowned for his meticulous and scientifically accurate illustrations of birds. Among his notable works are the illustrations of various waterfowl species, including the 'Garganey Teal, Male and Female,' 'Smew, Male and Female,' 'Golden Eye Duck, Male and Female,' and 'Scaup Pochard.' These illustrations are celebrated for their precision and attention to detail, reflecting Selby's deep understanding and appreciation of avian anatomy and behavior.

Selby's illustrations were part of his larger endeavor to document and illustrate the avifauna of Britain and Europe. His works were often compared to those of his contemporaries, such as John James Audubon, and were highly regarded for their scientific accuracy and artistic quality. The 'Garganey Teal, Male and Female' illustration captures the distinct sexual dimorphism of this species, with the male's striking blue-grey head and white facial stripe contrasting with the more subdued plumage of the female. Similarly, the 'Smew, Male and Female' illustration showcases the male's striking black and white plumage and the female's more understated brown and grey tones.

The 'Golden Eye Duck, Male and Female' illustration is another testament to Selby's skill, depicting the male's iridescent green head and bright yellow eyes alongside the female's more muted coloration. The 'Scaup Pochard' illustration, meanwhile, highlights the differences between the male's glossy black head and the female's brownish tones, providing a clear and informative comparison of the sexes.

Selby's work was not only artistically impressive but also served as an important scientific resource. His illustrations were used by naturalists and ornithologists to identify and study bird species, contributing significantly to the field of ornithology. Today, Selby's illustrations are appreciated both for their historical value and their enduring beauty, continuing to inspire and educate bird enthusiasts and scholars alike.
