About the original

Daniel Giraud Elliot (1835-1915) published A Monograph of the Paradiseidae, or Birds of Paradise in 1873: hand-coloured lithographs drawn by Joseph Wolf, put on stone by Joseph Smit and coloured by J. D. White, who had to render the metallic sheen of the plumage.

Elliot dedicated the book to Alfred Russel Wallace, to whom he owed ‘nearly all our information regarding the habits of many species’.
