EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts the Tragopan Satyra, also known as the Satyr Tragopan (Nycticorax satyra), a magnificent bird endemic to the eastern Himalayas. Plate 49 from John Gould's seminal work, "The Birds of Asia," Volume 7, captures the Tragopan's beauty and intricacy in exquisite detail. The Tragopan is a member of the pheasant family, characterized by its distinctive blue wattles and bib, which contrast sharply with its chestnut-brown plumage. The bird's anatomy is depicted with remarkable accuracy, showcasing its long, curved beak, brush-like toes, and feathered legs. The Tragopan's ear coverts are also clearly visible, providing a subtle touch of texture and detail. Surrounding the Tragopan are various fabaceae, or legume, plants, which are common in the bird's habitat. Butterflies, likely of the brush-footed variety, flit among the flowers, adding a vibrant burst of color and life to the scene. The Tragopan is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm that produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. It belongs to the order Passeriformes, or perching birds, and the family Phasianidae. The Tragopan's scientific name, Nycticorax satyra, reflects its nocturnal habits and satyr-like appearance. This image, created during the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Tragopan Satyra and the rich biodiversity of the Himalayas. The intricate hand-coloring and meticulous attention to detail bring the bird and its habitat to life, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art.
