Otis Himalayanus (young male) or Delicious Bustard, Otis deliciosa. 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
Otis Himalayanus (young male) or Delicious Bustard, Otis deliciosa: A Glimpse into the Exotic Bird Kingdom of the Himalayas". This print showcases a stunning engraving from 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, depicting two magnificent bird species - Otis Himalayanus (young male) and Delicious Bustard, also known as Otis deliciosa. Originating from the majestic Himalaya Mountains, these birds have captured the imagination of naturalists for centuries. John Gould's fascination with avian wonders began when a collection of birds from the Himalayas arrived at the Zoological Society's museum in the late 1820s. Inspired by their beauty and uniqueness, he embarked on an ambitious project to publish a volume of hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty species and one hundred individual birds. Elizabeth Gould played an integral role in bringing these avian marvels to life through her intricate drawings that were later transferred onto large lithographic stones. These exquisite illustrations are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". The print transports us back to early 19th century England when British artists like John Gould made significant contributions to natural history studies. The close-up view allows us to appreciate every minute detail - from the vibrant colors meticulously applied by hand coloring techniques to capturing each bird's distinctive markings. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of nature's boundless diversity and its ability to captivate our hearts with its bizarre yet beautiful creations. Let this image serve as a testament not only to artistic talent but also as a window into our planet's rich animal kingdom.
