Plate 6 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Striking Portrayal of the Eurasian Black Grouse (Lyrurus tetrix) This hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 6 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), presents a captivating image of the Eurasian Black Grouse (Lyrurus tetrix). The bird is depicted perched on a branch adorned with Fabaceae, or legume, foliage, against a backdrop of a serene woodland setting. The Eurasian Black Grouse, also known as the European Black Grouse, is a large, ground-dwelling bird native to Europe and Asia. The bird's distinctive plumage is on full display in this meticulously crafted print. The male, with its glossy black body, white underparts, and distinctive blue-grey wattles and eyebrows, stands out against the brown and green tones of the forest floor. The female, shown in the background, is more cryptically coloured, with brown and grey feathers that help her blend in with her surroundings. The Eurasian Black Grouse is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm that produces flowers and seeds enclosed in an ovary. It is a member of the Fabales order, which includes the Fabaceae family, or legumes. The Fabaceae family is characterized by their distinctive curlicue seed pods, which can be seen in the foliage beneath the bird. This beautiful and intricately detailed print not only showcases the anatomy and appearance of the Eurasian Black Grouse but also highlights its connection to the natural world. The bird is depicted in its daytime habitat, adding to the overall sense of realism and authenticity. The Eurasian Black Grouse is an important species in the Eurosid clade of the angiosperms, and this print serves as a reminder of the intricate relationships between different species in the natural world.
