Antique Bird Print of the White-Billed Wood-Shrike by Gould, C.1880

About the Item

The antique bird print titled 'Rectes Leucorhynchus' showcases the White-billed Wood-Shrike. Originating from John Gould's significant work, 'Birds of New Guinea and the adjacent Papuan Islands,' this print is dated between 1875 and 1888. John Gould, a prominent figure in ornithology, meticulously depicted the White-billed Wood-Shrike in this print, displaying its unique features and characteristics. His comprehensive study and documentation of avian species, especially those from New Guinea and the surrounding Papuan Islands, are renowned for their accuracy and detail. Gould's contributions to ornithological illustration are highly regarded, and his work remains a valuable resource for researchers, enthusiasts, and scholars in the field of natural history. This antique print of the White-billed Wood-Shrike stands as a testament to Gould's dedication to accurately portraying and cataloging avian species from this region during the late 19th century. Artists and Engravers: John Gould (1804 - 1881) was an English ornithologist and bird artist. He published a number of monographs on birds, illustrated by plates that he produced with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and several other artists including Edward Lear, Henry Constantine Richter, Joseph Wolf and William Matthew Hart.
