Plate 14 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Vol. 4 (1873): Alectoris rufa, the Red-legged Partridge This stunning hand-coloured lithograph depicts the Red-legged Partridge (Alectoris rufa), a galliform bird native to Europe and Asia. The partridge is shown in the midst of a flock, with its distinctive red legs and brown and blue plumage standing out against the green grass and blue sky. John Gould's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the anatomy of the bird, with its curved beak and bright, expressive eyes capturing the bird's character. The cap on the head of the partridge, a common feature in illustrations of game birds during the 19th century, is also a notable detail. The Red-legged Partridge is a ground-dwelling bird, typically found in open country with low vegetation. They are omnivorous, feeding on seeds, fruits, and insects. This flock appears to be foraging in the daytime, a common behavior for this species. The Red-legged Partridge was a popular game bird in Europe during the 19th century, and this illustration would have been used as a reference for hunters and collectors. The intricate hand-colouring adds to the beauty and realism of the image, making it a valuable addition to any natural history collection. This illustration is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of John Gould's work, showcasing the natural history of the Red-legged Partridge in exquisite detail. The use of blue in the sky and the green grass adds a sense of depth and dimension to the image, transporting the viewer to the open fields and countryside where this bird can be found.
