Columba Leuconota, Snow Pigeon. A species of bird in the Columba genus in the Columbidae family.. 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 Columba Leuconota, commonly known as the Snow Pigeon. Belonging to the Columba genus in the Columbidae family, this exquisite bird species hails from the majestic Himalaya Mountains. The engraving was created in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, who was renowned for his taxidermy skills and earned himself the nickname "bird-stuffer" at the Zoological Society. John Gould's fascination with birds from Eastern regions began when a collection of avian specimens arrived at the Society's museum in the late 1820s. Inspired by these Himalayan treasures, he conceived an ambitious project - publishing a volume of imperial folio-sized hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty different species and depicting a hundred birds altogether. Elizabeth Gould played a crucial role in bringing this vision to life; she meticulously made drawings of each bird which were then transferred onto large lithographic stones. These extraordinary lithographs are collectively referred to as "Gould plates". They beautifully capture not only the intricate details of each bird but also their unique markings and behavior. This particular illustration showcases an Asian Snow Pigeon with its exotic tail feathers on full display. Dating back to the early 19th century, this artwork represents both British and European artistic talent within natural history studies. Its vibrant colors, close-up perspective, and meticulous hand coloring make it truly remarkable. Preserved within books and manuscripts throughout history, these illustrations continue to inspire awe even today.
