Pastor Traillii. 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

Pastor Traillii - A Glimpse into the Exotic Himalayan Avian World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases an exquisite engraving from 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, titled "Pastor Traillii. Birds from the Himalaya Mountains". The enchanting artwork takes us on a journey to the majestic peaks of the Himalayas, where these remarkable birds reside. John Gould, renowned as the bird-stuffer by the Zoological Society, developed an infatuation with avian species from Eastern lands in the late 1820s. His fascination was sparked when a collection of birds from the Himalayan mountains arrived at the society's museum. Inspired by this encounter, he conceived a groundbreaking idea - publishing a volume of imperial folio-sized hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty species and figures of one hundred birds. Elizabeth Gould played an instrumental role in bringing this vision to life. She meticulously crafted intricate drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones known as "Gould plates". Her artistic prowess beautifully captured every detail and essence of these exotic creatures. The resulting engraving is nothing short of breathtaking. It immerses viewers in a world filled with vibrant colors and astonishing patterns adorning each bird's plumage. This close-up illustration transports us back to early 19th-century England when natural history books and manuscripts were treasured for their scientific value and aesthetic appeal. Quint Lox's skillful photography allows us to appreciate this historical masterpiece up close while preserving its timeless charm. As we gaze upon Pastor Traillii amidst its Asian habitat, we are reminded of nature's wonders that continue to captivate our imagination even centuries later.
