Plate 11 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873): A Striking Hand-Coloured Lithograph of the Pallass's Sandgrouse (Syrrhaptes paradoxus) This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, Plate 11 from John Gould's The Birds of Great Britain, Volume 4 (1873), showcases the distinctive features of the Pallass's Sandgrouse (Syrrhaptes paradoxus). The bird is depicted outside, standing on a moorland terrain, with its distinctive forked crest raised, and its mottled brown and grey plumage on full display. The orange colouring on its belly and underwings adds a striking contrast to the rest of its body. The Pallass's Sandgrouse is a ground-dwelling bird native to the arid regions of Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are known for their unique nesting habits, where they lay their eggs in shallow scrapes in the sand, which they then cover with pebbles to keep them cool during the daytime heat. The parents take turns leaving their chicks to go and find water, which they bring back to their young in their specialized pouch-like throat sacs. This illustration, produced during the 19th century, showcases the intricate details of the Pallass's Sandgrouse's anatomy, from its long, grey legs to its curved, grey beak. The hand-colouring adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the bird to life and highlighting its natural beauty. The plate is a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers and colourists of the time, who were able to create such detailed and lifelike images using this innovative printing technique. Overall, this hand-coloured lithograph of the Pallass's Sandgrouse is a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this intriguing bird, and a beautiful addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations.
