Phasianus Pucrasia (female), Perdix chukar
Phasianus Pucrasia (female), Perdix chukar. 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 two bird species native to the Himalaya Mountains - Phasianus Pucrasia (female) and Perdix chukar. Engraved in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, this artwork is a testament to their passion for avian wonders. John Gould, known as the "bird-stuffer" at the Zoological Society, developed an infatuation with Eastern birds after encountering a collection from the Himalayas in the late 1820s. Inspired by these magnificent creatures, he conceived the idea of publishing a volume featuring hand-colored lithographs of eighty different species, including figures of one hundred birds. Elizabeth Gould played an instrumental role in bringing these illustrations to life. She meticulously created drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones. These remarkable prints are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". The image captures both the exotic allure and intricate details of these feathered beings. The vibrant colors and delicate markings on their plumage come alive through Elizabeth's skilled artistry. Dating back to the early 19th century, this illustration represents not only a significant contribution to natural history but also serves as a testament to British artistic talent during that era. Quint Lox's photograph from Liszt Collection beautifully preserves this historical masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate its timeless charm and marvel at nature's boundless creativity.
