The Taylor White Collection
The watercolour painting of the Red Grouse comes from the collection of Taylor White F.R.S. (1701-1772). In the mid-18th Century, White commissioned the celebrated wildlife painter, Charles Collins (c.1680 - 1744) to paint a number of specimens for his collection. The Red Grouse was one of the watercolour paintings, which resulted from the collaboration between White and Collins.
Taylor White, a barrister by profession, was a keen naturalist and collector. He commissioned over 900 paintings of birds, mammals, reptiles and fish from the finest painters of his day. He was a Fellow of The Royal Society and founding Treasurer of The Foundling Hospital in London.
The original watercolour of the Red Grouse is extremely finely painted, with great detail being seen in all of the details of the painting. This depth of colour and detail has been captured brilliantly through the digitalisation process and is replicated for you on this delightful journal.
The Red Grouse
The Red Grouse (Scientific name: Lagopus lagopus scotica) is a true gem in the Grouse family! These marvellous gamebirds grace the heather moors of England, Scotland, and Ireland, flaunting their striking features and captivating bird enthusiasts everywhere. The Red Grouse hails from the Willow Ptarmigan sub-species, adding an extra touch of mystique.
Feast your eyes on the Red Grouse's magnificent red-brown plumage, masterfully contrasted by a sleek black tail and snow-white legs. The underside of their wings boasts elegant white stripes, while their fierce gaze is framed by distinctive red combs above the eyes.
The Red Grouse's impressive speed and undeniable rarity make them a highly sought-after prize in the world of shooting. However, it's not all smooth sailing for our feathered friends. They often face challenges due to harsh weather and relentless predators, causing their numbers to fluctuate dramatically from year to year.
But fear not, the Red Grouse's resilience is legendary! This spirited bird is celebrated with an annual event that is sure to delight any hunter or gourmand: "The Glorious Twelfth." Mark your calendars for the 12th August when the shooting season kicks off, and the quest for the prized Red Grouse begins! These elusive birds are whisked away from the moors and straight to the finest restaurants of London, where they are transformed into delectable dinners fit for royalty.
