About this plate

White-faced Nuthatch is plate 46 of Birds of Asia, Vol. 2 by John Gould (1849–1883). Today the species is known as the White-cheeked Nuthatch. This facsimile is made from the copy in the Teylers Museum, Haarlem, and printed at the size of the original sheet, 15 × 22 in (38 × 56 cm).

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 2 of the seven, with 75 plates: minivets and cochoas, paradise flycatchers and niltavas, sunbirds and flowerpeckers, nuthatches, a long run of tits, and orioles.
