Ptarmigan grouse or white game (willow grouse or willow ptarmigan) in its mottled white and brown plumage. Lagopus lagopus (Tetrao lagopus) Edward Donovan (1768-1837) was an Anglo-Irish amateur zoologist, writer, artist and engraver. He wrote and illustrated a series of volumes on birds, fish, shells and insects, opened his own museum of natural history in London, but later he fell on hard times and died penniless. Handcolored copperplate engraving from Edward Donovan's "The Natural History of British Birds" (1794-1819)
