EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored lithograph depicts a group of Semioptera wallacei, also known as Standardwings, perched gracefully on branches during daytime hours in Australasia. The intricately detailed illustration is Plate 52 from John Gould's The Birds of Australia, Supplementary volume, created between 1840 and 1848 by the renowned team of John and Elizabeth Gould. John Gould, a prominent English publisher and print seller, and his wife Elizabeth, a talented artist, collaborated on this magnificent work, which showcases the diverse avian species native to Australia. The Standardwing, with its distinctive bald head, long, green, and slender bill, and elongated upperwing coverts, is depicted in remarkable detail. The birds are shown in their natural habitat, adding to the authenticity of the illustration. The Standardwing's anatomy is beautifully rendered, with the delicate feathers, intricately textured scales, and the subtle variations in color perfectly captured. Each bird's head is turned slightly in different directions, adding depth and dimension to the image. The use of hand coloring adds a vibrant and lifelike quality to the lithograph, making it a true masterpiece of 19th-century natural history illustration. The Semioptera wallacei is a medium-sized bird, native to the forests of New Guinea and northern Australia. They are diurnal, meaning they are active during the day, and feed on insects, spiders, and other invertebrates. This image provides a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of Australasia during the 19th century and serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of John and Elizabeth Gould.
