Birds of America Double-elephant folio Editions
Viviparous Quadruped Imperial Folio Editions
A sumptuous collection of hand-colored lithographic plates, Daniel Giraud Elliot’s Monograph of the Phasianidae, or Family of Pheasants is unrivaled in its depiction of the various Pheasant species. Its scale, detail, and sheer artistic mastery delight the viewer’s eye as Elliot brings to life all the members of these colorful genera hailing from around the globe including parts of Asia, Africa, and Central America. The prints were issued in six parts over the course of two years from 1870 to 1872 after which the lithography stones were destroyed, limiting the number of sets to 150.
