About the Item
This plate is unique because of the bird species' unmistakable beauty and the great scientific and artistic skill with which Elisabeth and Jhon Gould rendered it.
The price quoted highlights the brilliance of the colors, the excellent state of conservation, and the fact that the print is coeval.
We also point out that we have placed other prints from the same series on the platform; hanging the collection as a whole would be one of the most elegant, striking and spectacular decorative walls ever imagined.
The pair of artists and scientists embarked on an adventurous journey; imagine the difficulty of the time even today. Moreover, with this suite, Elisabeth and Jhon Gould, both watercolourists and ornithologists, show incredible foresight and intelligence in choosing which subjects to shoot.
The plate belongs to the spectacular and fascinating collection The Birds of New Guinea and the adjacent Papuan Islands, consisting of 320 hand-painted lithographic works. This work was published in twenty-five parts; Gould died after the release of the twentieth, and the work was followed by Dr Bowdler Sharp, who also completed The Birds of Asia. William Hart, Gould's frequent collaborator on other collections, executed most of the lithographs.\

John and Elizabeth Gould
Elizabeth was born on July 18th, 1804 in Ramsgate, England to a military family. She likely underwent training in drawing and botany from an early age as was typical of a woman of her class in Victorian England. She met John Gould through her brother, Charles Coxen, who was also a taxidermist. She married John Gould in January 1829, both 24 years old. Gould began her professional work-life by producing ornithological drawings intended to supplement John's ornithological writing in letters to colleagues. John encouraged her to learn lithography and had his collaborator Edward Lear teach her. Once proficient with the art form, she created illustrations from John's more rudimentary drawings. She designed, lithographed and painted more than 650 plates that appeared in A Century of Birds from the Himalaya Mountains, The Birds of Europe, A Synopsis of the Birds of Australia and many other texts.
