Engraved by William Home Lizars (1788–1859), a renowned Scottish engraver and painter whose finely detailed plates appear in some of the era’s most important ornithological and zoological works. Some works also credit J. Stewart del., the illustrator who drew the original studies later engraved by Lizars. Together, their collaboration reflects the practice of 19th-century natural history publishing, combining field artistry with master engraving for both scientific study and decorative beauty.
