Cinclus Pallasii, Brown Dipper. Birds from the Himalaya Mountains, engraving 1831
Cinclus Pallasii, Brown Dipper. 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 the Cinclus Pallasii, commonly known as the Brown Dipper. Originating from the majestic Himalaya Mountains, this engraving was created in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould. John Gould, renowned for his taxidermy skills and nicknamed "the bird-stuffer" developed a deep fascination with birds from the east during the late 1820s. This particular artwork emerged when a collection of avian species from the Himalayas arrived at the Zoological Society's museum, inspiring Gould to publish an imperial folio-sized volume featuring hand-colored lithographs of eighty different species. Elizabeth Gould played a crucial role in bringing these illustrations to life. She meticulously crafted each drawing before transferring them onto large lithographic stones, resulting in what are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". The image captures not only the exotic allure of this Asian bird but also highlights its unique tail feathers and intricate markings. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing both Elizabeth and John Gould's artistic prowess. Dating back to early 19th century England, this illustration holds historical significance within British art and natural history studies. Preserved by Liszt Cultural Institute's Arkheia collection, it serves as a testament to our ongoing fascination with animals' behavior and markings.
