  John Gould's Bird Books and the Visual Response to Darwinism
Notice the way Bewick places the bird against a fairly detailed background designed to provide a sense of the bird's natural habitat, but notice, too, that the bird is not really integrated into that habitat, and that no other animal life and no other bird life, even of the same species, are present.
In these paradigmatic scenes of small birds, the long-tailed tit and the European robin, we see the development of the mature Gould plate: elaborate domestic scene in the foreground, complete with nest and young birds, supported, in the robin plate, by a detailed rural background in which human beings and other animal species are absent.
His textual description of the bird explicitly dissents from the view that the young cuckoo ejects its foster-siblings, arguing instead that this is accomplished by the foster parents in their inexplicable but fierce protection of the cuckoo rather than their own young.
