Tragopan Satyrus, Crimson Horned Pheasant, is a pheasant found in the Himalayan reaches of India, Tibet, Nepal and Bhutan. 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 Tragopan Satyrus, also known as the Crimson Horned Pheasant, a stunning bird found in the majestic Himalayan reaches of India, Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan. The engraving was created in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, who was renowned as a taxidermist and affectionately called "the bird-stuffer" by the Zoological Society. John Gould's fascination with birds from the East ignited when a collection of avian specimens from the Himalayas arrived at the Societys museum in the late 1820s. Inspired by this encounter, he conceived an extraordinary idea to publish an imperial folio-sized volume featuring hand-colored lithographs of eighty species and figures of one hundred birds. Elizabeth Gould played a crucial role in bringing these illustrations to life. She meticulously made drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones. These remarkable works are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". The image captures not only the beauty but also highlights various aspects such as animal behavior, markings, patterns on its exotic plumage. It provides us with a glimpse into early nineteenth-century natural history exploration through art. Displayed against a vibrant background with intricate details showcasing every feather and nuance of color expertly hand-colored during production; this artwork is truly mesmerizing. Its full-length depiction allows viewers to appreciate every aspect of this unique creature's appearance. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and valuable documentation for those interested in British art history or European artists' contributions to natural history studies during this era.
