Family of the Pheasants
By Daniel Giraud Elliot, 1835-1915
Daniel Giraud Elliot (1835-1915) published A Monograph of the Phasianidae, or Family of the Pheasants in two volumes between 1870 and 1872: 81 lithographed plates, 79 of them hand-coloured, by Joseph Wolf, Joseph Smit and John Gerrard Keulemans, with each bird shown in its habitat.
Elliot dedicated the work to Wolf, who drew or coloured many of the plates. He counted no bird family more important to people, as the source ‘of all the domestic poultry’.
