Daniel Giraud Elliot (American, 1835-1915). "Arctic Sharp-Tail Grouse, Pediocaetes Phasianellus." Hand colored lithograph from "Elliot's Illustrations" (1863). Drawn from nature by D.G. Elliot, F.Z.S. Lithographed, printed and colored by Bowen & Co. Philadelphia. Daniel Giraud Elliot was an American zoologist and the founder of the American Ornithologist Union. Though born in New York City, he lived in London between 1869 and 1879 and forged strong connections with British naturalists and ornithologists. Elliot created a series of books about birds and animals with luxurious color plates. Size: 16.125" L x 21.625" W (41 cm x 54.9 cm)
Among the artists who illustrated Elliot's books were Joseph Wolf and Joseph Smit who both worked for the esteemed John Gould as well. Elliot's books included "A Monograph of the Phasianidae (Family of the Pheasants)" (1870–72), "A Monograph of the Paradiseidae or Birds of Paradise" (1873), "A Monograph of the Felidae or Family of Cats" (1878) and "Review of the Primates" (1913).
Elliot's career had many impressive highlights. In addition to being President of the American Ornithologists' Union in 1890, he was invited to participate in the Harriman Alaska Expedition to document wildlife along the Alaskan coast in 1899. Furthermore, Eilliot was a founder of the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, the American Ornithologists' Union, and the Societe zoologique de France. Finally, he was the Curator of Zoology at the Field Museum in Chicago.
