EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 248: Tetrao urogallus, the Western Capercaillie, is depicted in this stunning hand-colored lithograph by John and Elizabeth Gould, taken from the fourth volume of their seminal work, "The Birds of Europe" (1832-1837). The image showcases the anatomy of this majestic grouse species in remarkable detail, with its distinctive long, brown feathers, curved brow, and piercing, yellow eye. The capercaillie is depicted perched on a branch, its beak slightly agape, as if ready to emit its distinctive call. The intricate illustration captures the bird's textured plumage and the subtle variations in color and tone, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century ornithological art. The Western Capercaillie, a member of the Galliformes order, is a large, ground-dwelling bird native to Europe and Asia. Known for their daytime activity, they are often found in forests with heather and birch, making this illustration a fitting representation of their natural habitat. This exquisite lithograph, produced by the renowned team of John and Elizabeth Gould, is a testament to their unwavering commitment to accurate and beautiful bird illustrations.
