EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Totanus Glottoides, commonly known as the Common Greenshank, a remarkable wader belonging to the Scolopacidae family. The image is an engraving from 1831 created by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould. John Gould, renowned as the bird-stuffer by the Zoological Society, was working as a taxidermist when his fascination with birds from the east began in the late 1820s. It all started when a collection of avian species from the Himalayan mountains arrived at the Society's museum. Inspired by this encounter, John conceived an ambitious project: publishing a volume of imperial folio-sized hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty different species and depicting one hundred individual birds. Elizabeth Gould played an instrumental role in bringing these stunning illustrations to life. She meticulously made drawings of each bird and transferred them onto large lithographic stones for printing purposes. These exceptional works are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". The print captures not only the beauty but also highlights some unique characteristics of this Asian bird found in the majestic Himalayas. Its exotic appearance with its distinct tail feathers adds intrigue to its presence. Dating back to early 19th century England, this illustration represents a significant contribution to natural history studies during that era. The Liszt Collection has preserved this piece of artistry and scientific exploration for us all to appreciate today.
