EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Turdus Poecilopterus, also known as the Aztec Thrush. Originating from the majestic Himalaya Mountains, this engraving was created in 1831 by Elizabeth Gould and John Gould. John Gould, renowned as a taxidermist and bird-stuffer for the Zoological Society, developed a deep fascination with birds from Eastern regions during the late 1820s. His passion ignited when a collection of avian species from the Himalayas arrived at the society's museum. Inspired by these magnificent creatures, he conceived an ambitious project to publish a volume of imperial folio-sized hand-colored lithographs featuring eighty different species and one hundred individual birds. Elizabeth Gould played an integral role in bringing their vision to life. She meticulously crafted intricate drawings that were then transferred onto large lithographic stones. These remarkable artworks are now famously referred to as "Gould plates". The photograph captures not only the vibrant colors and fine details of this Asian bird but also provides insight into its behavior and markings. It offers viewers a glimpse into early 19th-century natural history through British artist Elizabeth Gould's skillful illustrations. Displayed against a background that accentuates its exotic nature, this close-up image highlights every feather on this tail-adorned creature. The hand coloring adds depth and richness to its appearance while emphasizing its unique characteristics. Preserved within books and manuscripts throughout history, these extraordinary engravings have become cherished treasures for art enthusiasts worldwide. Quint Lox has masterfully captured their essence in this stunning print from Liszt Collection's Arkheia series - celebrating both wildlife and artistic brilliance.
