Muscepeta Peregrina. Birds from the Himalaya Mountains, engraving 1831 by Elizabeth Gould

Muscepeta Peregrina. 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 "Muscepeta Peregrina" a bird species found in the majestic Himalaya Mountains. Engraved in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, this piece of art represents their remarkable collaboration. John Gould, renowned as the bird-stuffer at the Zoological Society, developed an infatuation with birds from the east during the late 1820s when a collection of avian wonders arrived at the society's museum. Driven by his passion for these exotic creatures, John conceived an ambitious project - publishing a volume of imperial folio-sized hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty species and one hundred birds. To bring his vision to life, he enlisted Elizabeth Gould's artistic talents. She meticulously created drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones known as "Gould plates". The resulting illustration is nothing short of breathtaking. The vibrant colors and intricate details capture every nuance of this Asian beauty with its distinctive tail feathers. This early nineteenth-century masterpiece stands as a testament to both British and European artistry. Now preserved within the Liszt Cultural Institute's collection, this engraving transports us back in time to witness nature's marvels through Quint Lox's lens. It serves as a reminder of our planet's diverse animal kingdom and highlights how human creativity can immortalize its splendor for generations to come.
