Collurio Hardwickii, Collurio Erythronotus
Collurio Hardwickii, Collurio Erythronotus. 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 beauty of Collurio Hardwickii and Collurio Erythronotus, two bird species native to the majestic Himalaya Mountains. Engraved in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, this artwork is a testament to their incredible talent and passion for ornithology. John Gould, renowned as the "bird-stuffer" by the Zoological Society, developed a deep fascination with birds from the east during his time as a taxidermist. His interest was sparked when a collection of avian specimens from the Himalayas arrived at the society's museum in the late 1820s. Inspired by these exotic creatures, he conceived an ambitious project: publishing an imperial folio-sized volume featuring hand-colored lithographs of eighty different species, including figures of one hundred birds. Working collaboratively with her husband John, Elizabeth Gould meticulously created stunning drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones. These plates became known as "Gould plates" and are highly regarded for their artistic precision and attention to detail. This particular print captures not only the vibrant colors but also highlights intricate markings on these Asian birds' tails. The image transports us back to early 19th-century natural history illustrations while showcasing British artist Elizabeth Gould's immense skill. The Liszt Collection proudly presents this rare glimpse into our planet's diverse animal kingdom through Quint Lox's lens. It serves as a reminder of both nature's wonders and humanity's dedication to capturing its beauty through artistry and scientific exploration.
