EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 13 from John Gould's The Birds of Asia, Volume 7, features a stunning hand-colored lithograph of the Bulwer's Pheasant, Lophura bulweri. This beautiful avian species is native to the forests of Borneo and other parts of Southeast Asia. The Bulwer's Pheasant is an eutherian bird, belonging to the order Galliformes and the family Phasianidae. It is named after the British naturalist Edward Bulwer, who first described the species in 1831. The lithograph captures the bird's vibrant plumage, with its iridescent blue-green neck and head, chestnut-brown body, and black and white barring on its wings. The Bulwer's Pheasant is perched gracefully on a branch, its beady eyes fixed intently on the viewer. The background is adorned with lush angiosperms, a common sight in the tropical forests of Borneo. The Bulwer's Pheasant is an herbivorous bird, feeding mainly on the seeds and shoots of dicotyledonous plants, making it an essential component of the forest ecosystem. The Dyak people of Borneo consider the Bulwer's Pheasant a sacred bird and believe that it has the power to bring good fortune. This exquisite lithograph is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the 19th century's natural history illustrations. The use of watercolor adds depth and texture to the image, bringing the Bulwer's Pheasant to life. The bird's anatomy is accurately depicted, revealing its strong, muscular legs and the intricacies of its feathers. Overall, this plate is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable record of the natural history of Borneo's unique wildlife.
