General
Pelecanus onocrotalus -- Great White Pelican. Alternate name on piece: Pelecanus onocrotalus [Pelican]. Possibly prepared for but not used in the Birds of Great Britain; drawing is apparently copied very closely from Lear's published plate (issued between 1831 and 1837). Dating of the figure in 0301b makes it clear that this drawing could not have been used in preparation for the plate in Birds of Europe V:405. Artist's name(s): Lear, Edward.
