Tragopan Hastingsii (female). 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

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tragopan Hastingsii, a female bird native to the majestic Himalaya Mountains. Engraved in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, this artwork is part of their renowned collection of hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty species from the East. John Gould, also known as the "bird-stuffer" due to his expertise as a taxidermist for the Zoological Society, became infatuated with birds from the Himalayas when a remarkable assortment arrived at the society's museum in the late 1820s. Inspired by these avian wonders, he conceived an ambitious project: publishing an imperial folio-sized volume filled with stunning illustrations. Elizabeth Gould played a crucial role in bringing this vision to life. She meticulously made drawings of each bird and skillfully transferred them onto large lithographic stones. The resulting prints are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". This particular image captures the beauty and exoticism of Tragopan Hastingsii—a striking Asian bird with its distinct tail feathers on full display. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring it to life against a carefully chosen background. Dating back to early 19th century England, this illustration represents not only an important contribution to natural history but also serves as a testament to British artistry during that era. Its inclusion in Liszt Cultural Institute's collection further solidifies its significance within European artistic heritage. Quint Lox has masterfully captured all these elements through his lens, preserving this piece of history for generations to come.
