EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 5: Pavo muticus, the Green Peafowl, is depicted in this stunning 19th century illustration by the renowned natural history artist, Joseph Wolf. The illustration is taken from "A Monograph of the Phasianidæ, or Family of the Pheasants," authored by Daniel Giraud Elliot, published in 1872. The Green Peafowl, native to South Asia, is displayed in all its splendor in this illustration. The bird is perched on a branch, its mottled green and cream plumage providing an excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. The bird's most distinctive feature, its extravagant crest, is raised high, adding to its regal appearance. The peafowl's face is adorned with a crown of feathers, and its eyes, with their distinctive blue-green coloration, gaze intently at the viewer. The intricate details of the bird's anatomy are beautifully captured in this illustration. The feathers on the peafowl's body are finely textured, and the mottled patterns on its plumage are rendered with remarkable accuracy. The illustration also captures the subtle color variations on the bird's body, from the creamy hue of its underparts to the darker green of its back and wings. The Green Peafowl is a galliform bird, meaning it belongs to the order of birds that includes chickens, quails, and turkeys. It is a diurnal bird, meaning it is active during the day, and is known for its distinctive call, which can be heard during the early morning and late afternoon. The Green Peafowl is an important species in many cultures, and is revered for its beauty and symbolism. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this magnificent bird, and is a testament to the skill and artistry of Joseph Wolf and Daniel Giraud Elliot.
