EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph by John and Elizabeth Gould, Plate 50 from The Birds of Australia Supplementary volume, showcases the captivating beauty of Ptiloris victoriae, also known as Victorias riflebird. The image, created in the nineteenth century, depicts a group of these vibrant birds perched gracefully on a curved branch. The males, easily distinguishable by their iridescent green bibs and long, curved bills, display their colourful plumage in an impressive show for their potential mates. John and Elizabeth Gould were renowned for their exceptional talent in producing detailed and accurate illustrations of the natural world. This particular plate, with its intricate hand-colouring, highlights the exquisite details of the Victorias riflebird's plumage and anatomy. The birds are depicted in their natural habitat, with the lush greenery of Australia's daytime landscape providing the perfect backdrop. The Victorias riflebird is native to Australasia and is a fascinating avian species, known for its unique courtship displays and vibrant colours. This image, captured in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the natural history of this remarkable bird and the meticulous work of two of the most celebrated natural history illustrators of their time.
