About the original

Daniel Giraud Elliot (1835-1915) published A Monograph of the Tetraoninae, or Family of the Grouse in 1864 and 1865, his second monograph: 27 hand-coloured lithographs, 25 of them by Joseph Wolf and two of eggs by William S. Morgan.

Most of the species lived in North America, and Elliot wrote that many were ‘rapidly disappearing from our land’; he wanted to record their history while they could still be observed in the wild.
