Physical Description

General

Coarse layout sketch in ink, corresponding closely to the published plate. Reversed from the Lear image on reverse, from which it must have been traced; however, the chest and bill on this bird are appreciably larger. Cut down, with the loss of the head and shoulders of the second bird. Deep tracing marks. Previously cited as GS24 or 24GS, and so marked on reverse. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Gould, Elizabeth.
