Gould Birds of Asia - Fasciated Hemipode
This original lithograph of the Fasciated Hemipode (Turnix fasciatus) is from John Gould's Birds of Asia, issued in 35 parts between 1849 and 1883, the last three being issued after Gould's death in 1881 by Bowdler-Sharpe.The print was drawn and lithographed by John Gould and HC Richter. The work comprised 7 folio volumes with 530 hand-coloured lithographs after John Gould, Henry Constantine Richter, Josef Wolf and William Hart. The Birds of Asia followed easily from Gould's first monograph on the birds of the Himalayas. That it took more than thirty years to publish, at the rate of one part per year, is testament to Gould's dedication to bringing to the attention of the public extraordinary and exotic birds from the furthest reaches of the globe. Size: approximately 22in x 15in (52cm x 36cm)
Condition: The print is in excellent condition on thick, high quality paper. Please inspect the image carefully
