EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph, titled "Arfak Astrapia (Astrapia Nigra)", transports us to the lush landscapes of New Guinea in the late 19th century. Created by renowned British artist John Gould and his collaborator William Hart, this print is a testament to their expertise in capturing the beauty of nature. The image showcases three Arfak Astrapias perched on a tree branch, their vibrant plumage contrasting against the verdant backdrop. The meticulous hand-colouring brings these magnificent birds to life, highlighting every intricate detail from their striking tail feathers to their delicate features. Gould's mastery as an illustrator shines through in this piece, as he expertly captures the essence of these elusive creatures. Each bird seems to be calling out into the wilderness, adding a sense of movement and vitality to the composition. The print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into scientific exploration during that era. Published between 1875 and 1888 as part of "The Birds of New Guinea and the adjacent Papuan Islands" it stands as a testament to Gould's dedication towards documenting avian species from around the world. This remarkable artwork invites us into a world where artistry meets scientific discovery, reminding us of our connection with nature and inspiring awe for its diverse wonders.
