NOTE 2: I have seen this bird drawing in a folio published by Raphael Tuck around 1888 or 1889, entitled "Studies of Bird Groupings" (Series I), taken from original paintings by Hector Giacomelli. It is part of grouping No. 2 (as identified by TuckDB). I do not as yet have an image of that grouping to display here.

Illustration also appears as an element of a Hector Giacomelli painting
"ETUDES D'OISEAUX (Studies of Birds)"
