EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 53: Phasianus colchicus sahwii, the Common (Yarkand) Pheasant, as depicted in Joseph Wolf's illustration for Daniel Giraud Elliot's "A Monograph of the Phasianid, or Family of the Pheasants," published in 1872. This exquisite image showcases the intricate details of the Common Pheasant's anatomy, with its plumage of brown feathers adorned with a distinctive collar of red and black. The bird's face, with its piercing gaze and wattle, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of this fascinating avian species. The Common Pheasant, also known as Phasianus colchicus, is a member of the Phasianidae family, which is part of the larger order of birds known as Galliformes. This bird is native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and is an important game bird in many countries. The Common Pheasant is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm that produces flowers and seeds. Its diet consists mainly of seeds, fruits, and insects. The plant family Fabaceae, which includes legumes, is a common food source for this bird. This illustration is a reminder of the rich natural history knowledge that was being documented during the 19th century. The Common Pheasant, like many other species, continues to be a subject of fascination for naturalists and bird enthusiasts around the world. The intricate details of its anatomy, as captured by Joseph Wolf, provide valuable insights into the bird's biology and evolutionary history.
