Description

Drawing depicting: Syrrhaptes paradoxus, Layout drawing, one bird well finished, the other less so, and very heavily drawn over by Gould; ; 2 notes on form, 2 on color; in the published plates one bird is reversed in its position and the minimal background built up. The drawing is somewhat closer to the Birds of Asia plate as far as background goes; the Birds of Great Britian plate has 2 eggs added. The two published plates have quite different backgrounds, and the birds show major variations of color and pattern. Binomial and Asia citation in pencil by Sotheran, bookseller.
