About the original
John Gould (1804-1881) published The Birds of Asia in 35 parts between 1849 and 1883: 530 hand-coloured lithographs by Gould, Joseph Wolf, Henry Constantine Richter and William Matthew Hart. It took 34 years, longer than any of his other works, and Richard Bowdler Sharpe completed it after Gould’s death.
Volume 4 of the seven, with 72 plates. Shown here are small songbirds: tesias, the Tailor-bird, dumetias, a bush chat, the Mountain Accentor and the Desert White-throat.
