Turdus Erythrogaster. 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 Turdus Erythrogaster, a bird species native to the majestic Himalaya Mountains. Engraved in 1831 by Elizabeth and John Gould, this artwork is a testament to their passion for avian wonders. John Gould, known as the skilled bird-stuffer of the Zoological Society, became enamored with Eastern birds when a collection from the Himalayas arrived at the society's museum in the late 1820s. Driven by his fascination, Gould conceived an ambitious project: publishing a volume of imperial folio-sized hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty species and one hundred birds. To bring these remarkable illustrations to life, Elizabeth Gould meticulously made drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones - now famously referred to as "Gould plates". In this particular print, we are treated to a close-up view of Turdus Erythrogaster's vibrant plumage and distinctive tail feathers. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of color on this early 19th-century masterpiece. The Liszt Collection has preserved this rare gem from English art history, showcasing not only its artistic value but also its significance within natural history studies. This enchanting engraving transports us back in time while reminding us of nature's boundless wonders found high up in the Himalayan peaks.
