Gould Birds of Asia - Bearded Partridge 1849-83
This original lithograph of the Bearded Partridge (Perdix Barbata) 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)
