From, Selby's ILLUSTRATIONS OF BRITISH ORNITHOLOGY, published between 1821 and 1833. This major work was etched/engraved by Selby, mostly after his own drawings, with the assistance of his brother-in-law Captain Robert Mitford.
In 1816 Mitford was taught to etch and engrave by Thomas Bewick in Newcastle; he then taught Selby at Twizell House. Two volumes of text appeared, "Land Birds" in 1825 (revised in 1833) and "Water Birds" in 1833.
Plate LXVI and P1028L in the upper right-hand corner, this engraving depicts a female Scaup Pochard, with P J Selby in the image at the lower right; Prideaux John Selby (1788 - 1867) was a noted British ornithologist, etcher, and engraver.
