EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 21 from John Gould's The Birds of Asia, Volume 3, presents a captivating image of the Irena puella, also known as the Asian Fairy-Bluebird. This exquisite hand-coloured lithograph, created in the 19th century, showcases the bird's stunning blue plumage and delicate features. The Irena puella is a passerine bird belonging to the family Irenidae, native to Southeast Asia. John Gould's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate illustration of this small bird perched gracefully on a branch. The cap on its head, a characteristic feature of the species, adds an air of mystery and enchantment. The pair of Irena puella in this illustration are depicted in their natural habitat, providing a glimpse into their world. The Irena puella is a beloved bird in Asian folklore and mythology, often considered a symbol of good luck and happiness. The bird's vibrant blue coloration, reminiscent of the sky and the sea, adds to its allure. This lithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world in Asia during the 19th century. The intricate hand-colouring technique used in this illustration brings the Irena puella to life, adding depth and texture to the image. The delicate brushstrokes and precise shading create a sense of realism, making it a desirable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithological prints.
