"King Eider, Male and Female", "Long Tailed Duck", and "Velvet Scoter, Male and Female" are notable works by Prideaux John Selby, a British ornithologist, botanist, and artist known for his detailed illustrations of birds. These works are part of Selby's most significant publication, "Illustrations of British Ornithology" (1821–1834), which was the first set of life-sized illustrations of British birds and one of the earliest English works to present full descriptions and illustrations of British bird species.

The illustrations of the King Eider (Somateria spectabilis), Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis), and Velvet Scoter (Melanitta fusca) are particularly admired for their accuracy and artistic quality. Selby's expertise in both ornithology and art allowed him to create images that were not only scientifically correct but also aesthetically pleasing. His works contributed significantly to the study of ornithology in the 19th century by providing researchers and enthusiasts with precise visual representations of bird species.

Selby's illustrations are characterized by their attention to detail, capturing the intricate patterns and colors of the birds' plumage. The male and female depictions of the King Eider and Velvet Scoter highlight the sexual dimorphism present in these species, with the males displaying more vibrant and distinctive coloration compared to the more subdued females. The Long-tailed Duck illustration showcases the species' unique tail feathers, which are especially elongated in males.

These works are not only important from a scientific perspective but are also valued as fine examples of early 19th-century British bird art. They reflect the growing interest in natural history during this period and the development of ornithology as a scientific discipline. Selby's contributions through his illustrations have left a lasting legacy and continue to be appreciated by both ornithologists and art historians.
