Anser Indica, Bar-headed Goose. Birds from the Himalaya Mountains, engraving 1831
Anser Indica, Bar-headed Goose. 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 "Anser Indica, Bar-headed Goose" from the Himalaya Mountains. Engraved in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould, this piece is a testament to their remarkable talent and passion for avian beauty. John Gould, renowned as the bird-stuffer of the Zoological Society, developed an infatuation with birds from the East during the late 1820s. Inspired by a collection of Himalayan mountain birds at the Societys museum, he conceived an ambitious project: publishing a volume of imperial folio-sized hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty species and one hundred bird figures. Elizabeth Gould played a crucial role in bringing these visions to life. With her exceptional artistic skills, she meticulously created drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones - now famously known as Gould plates. In this particular engraving, we witness a close-up view of an Anser Indica or Bar-headed Goose. Its vibrant colors and intricate markings are beautifully captured through hand coloring techniques employed by Elizabeth Gould herself. The goose's elongated tail feathers add to its allure while showcasing its distinctiveness among other avian species. This print not only serves as a stunning visual representation but also offers insight into early 19th-century natural history studies and British artistry. It stands as a testament to John and Elizabeth Gould's dedication to capturing nature's wonders on paper for generations to admire.
