About this plate

About the original

A Century of Birds from the Himalaya Mountains was John Gould’s (1804-1881) first book: 80 hand-coloured lithographs, issued in 20 monthly parts from 1830 and published by Gould himself, as no publisher could be found. Gould sketched the birds from skins sent from the Himalaya; his wife Elizabeth Gould (1804-1841) drew the plates on stone.

She learned lithography with help from Edward Lear. The book’s success allowed Gould to go on to his later works.
