EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-coloured lithograph depicts Ithaginis cruentus, also known as the Blood Pheasant, which is native to the highlands of Nepal and northern India. This magnificent bird is a member of the Phasianidae family, order Galliformes, and is distinguished by its vibrant plumage and distinctive mask-like markings around its eyes. The Blood Pheasant was first described scientifically in 1836 by Edward Blyth, an English naturalist and zoologist. This illustration is Plate 43 from John Gould's renowned work, "The Birds of Asia," published between 1850 and 1883. Gould's meticulously detailed and beautifully coloured lithographs were considered the standard reference for ornithology during the 19th century. The Blood Pheasant is a forest bird that is typically found in the undergrowth of dense forests. It is a ground-dwelling bird that feeds on seeds, fruits, and insects. The male and female have similar plumage, but the male has a more elaborate crest. The Blood Pheasant is a popular game bird, and its vibrant colours make it a prized addition to any avian collection. This exquisite illustration showcases the Blood Pheasant in its natural habitat, outside in the daytime. The intricate details of its feathers and the rich colours used in the hand-colouring process bring the bird to life, making it a true work of art. The Blood Pheasant is a fascinating and beautiful bird, and this illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the naturalists and artists of the 19th century.
