Nigel your third picture looks a lot like the female of the peacock. Yours is going to be a terrific set! As for peacock pictures: peacock is perfect for any turn-of-the century, art nouveau pictures! Peacock is featured on most liberty style decorations. I live in a city that has a lot of liberty age buildings so I have a lot of peacocks decoration available. Last time I was in London I visited a terrific big house called "Peacock's house". It is a Liberty style building with decorations by Morris. The Peacock is the "leitmotiv" and it's present everywhere! Also the peacock in the history of art is a symbol of God and of the eternal life, and sometimes of rebirth. So plenty of uses for Nigel's peacock!
