EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 51: Phasianus colchicus shawii, Common Pheasant (Joseph Wolf from Daniel Giraud Elliott's A Monograph of the Phasianid, or Family of the Pheasants, 1872) This exquisite 19th century illustration depicts the Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus shawii), a bird species native to Europe and Asia. The illustration is taken from Daniel Giraud Elliott's seminal work, A Monograph of the Phasianid, or Family of the Pheasants, published in 1872. The illustration was created by the renowned natural history artist, Joseph Wolf. The Common Pheasant is shown in its full regal glory, with its distinctive brown plumage, collar of feathers around its neck, and vibrant eye. This bird is an important member of the avian world, belonging to the Eudicot clade, specifically the Angiospermae, and more specifically the Asterales and Fabales orders. The Common Pheasant is an omnivorous bird, feeding on a variety of seeds, fruits, and insects. The illustration provides a detailed anatomical representation of the bird, showcasing its intricate feather patterns and muscular structure. The Common Pheasant is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the daytime. The illustration captures the bird in its daytime habitat, surrounded by various angiosperms, including members of the Asteraceae, Fabaceae, and Compositae families. The Common Pheasant is an important species in the Phasianidae family, and this illustration serves as a testament to the beauty and intricacy of this bird species. The illustration also highlights the important role that natural history art played in documenting and preserving the natural world during the 19th century.
