Garrulus Lanceolatus, Black-headed Jay or Lanceolated Jay
Garrulus Lanceolatus, Black-headed Jay or Lanceolated Jay. Birds from the Himalaya Mountains, engraving 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould. John Gould was working as a taxidermist, he was known as the bird-stuffer, by the Zoological Society. Goulds fascination with birds from the east began in the late 1820s when a collection of birds from the Himalayan mountains arrived at the Societys museum and Gould conceived the idea of publishing a volume of imperial folio sized hand-coloured lithographs of the eighty species, with figures of a hundred birds. Elizabeth Gould made the drawings and transferred them to the large lithographic stones. They are called Gould plates

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Garrulus Lanceolatus, also known as the Black-headed Jay or Lanceolated Jay. Originating from the majestic Himalaya Mountains, this bird species has been immortalized in an engraving created by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould in 1831. John Gould, renowned for his taxidermy skills and fondly referred to as "the bird-stuffer" developed a deep fascination with birds from the east during the late 1820s. This passion was ignited when a collection of avian specimens from the Himalayas arrived at the Zoological Society's museum. Inspired by these magnificent creatures, John conceived an ambitious project - publishing a volume of imperial folio-sized lithographs featuring eighty different species and one hundred individual birds. Elizabeth Gould played a crucial role in bringing these illustrations to life. She meticulously crafted detailed drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones. The resulting prints, now famously referred to as "Gould plates" showcase not only her artistic talent but also her dedication to capturing every intricate detail of these exotic avian wonders. This particular image highlights the striking features of this Asian bird - its black head contrasting against vibrant plumage and elegant tail feathers. The hand-colored illustration transports us back to early 19th-century natural history exploration, where British artists like Elizabeth and John Gould made significant contributions through their meticulous observations and artistic renderings. The Liszt Collection proudly presents this rare glimpse into our natural world's past, allowing us to appreciate both its beauty and scientific significance.
