Coccothraustes Icterioides, black and yellow hawfinch. Birds from the Himalaya Mountains
Coccothraustes Icterioides, black and yellow hawfinch. 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 stunning beauty of the Coccothraustes Icterioides, also known as the black and yellow hawfinch. Originating from the majestic Himalaya Mountains, these birds have long fascinated naturalists and bird enthusiasts alike. The engraving, created in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, captures the intricate details of this exotic species. John Gould's expertise as a taxidermist earned him the nickname "bird-stuffer" within the Zoological Society. His fascination with Eastern birds began when a collection from the Himalayas arrived at the society's museum in the late 1820s. Motivated by his discovery, John conceived an ambitious project to publish a volume of hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty species and one hundred bird figures. Elizabeth Gould played an integral role in bringing these illustrations to life by making detailed drawings that were later transferred onto large lithographic stones known as Gould plates. This particular image portrays not only a Coccothraustes Icterioides but also features other elements such as Asian woodpeckers (picus mahrattensis) against a vibrant background. The early 19th-century illustration evokes both curiosity and admiration for these remarkable creatures. Preserved within this print is not just an artistic representation but also a testament to our ongoing fascination with nature's wonders. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance while immersing ourselves in its vivid colors and intricate details.
