Rufous-bellied Pteruthius (Pteruthius Rufiventer) John Gould – The Birds of Asia

Short Description

Original hand-coloured lithograph from Gould’s impressive “Birds of Asia” completed and published in London in 1856.

Executed by John Gould and Henry Constantine Richter. Beautifully colouring and with gum Arabic highlights to the back, tail and eyes of the bird to give extra depth and contrast. A very good near fine example with the attendant descriptive page.

The now common name of the bird is the Black-headed Shrike-Babbler. At the time of this lithograph it had recently been discovered and named as a new species by Mr Blyth of Calcutta, India. He is still given that accolade. It was thought to be uncommon whilst it is found from Eastern Nepal through to Vietnam.
