Phasianus Albo-Cristatus, Pheasant. Birds from the Himalaya Mountains, engraving
Phasianus Albo-Cristatus, Pheasant. 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 the Phasianus Albo-Cristatus, commonly known as the Pheasant. Originating from the majestic Himalaya Mountains, this engraving was created in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould. John Gould, renowned as a taxidermist and bird-stuffer for the Zoological Society, developed a deep fascination with avian species from the East during the late 1820s. His inspiration struck when a collection of birds from the Himalayan mountains arrived at the society's museum. This led to his visionary idea of publishing an imperial folio-sized volume featuring hand-colored lithographs depicting eighty different species and figures of one hundred birds. Elizabeth Gould played an instrumental role in bringing these illustrations to life. She meticulously made drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones, resulting in what are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". The image captures not only the exotic allure of this Asian pheasant but also highlights its distinctive tail feathers and intricate markings. The vibrant colors meticulously applied by hand add depth and realism to this early nineteenth-century illustration. This remarkable piece belongs to Liszt Collection's extensive archive of books and manuscripts dedicated to natural history artistry. It stands as a testament to both British and European artistic talent during this period. Quint Lox has skillfully captured every detail in this close-up shot, allowing viewers to appreciate both its bizarre yet fascinating characteristics up close while transporting us back in time to witness nature's wonders through artistry.
