EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 20 from John Gould's The Birds of Asia, Volume 7, presents a stunning and intricately detailed hand-colored lithograph of the Lady Amherst's Pheasant, Chrysolophus amherstiae. This beautiful avian species is named after Lady Anne Amherst, the wife of Sir John Amherst, who was the British Resident in Nepal during the late 1820s when the first specimens were discovered. The Lady Amherst's Pheasant is a galliform bird, characterized by its vibrant green plumage, distinctive crest, and elaborate anatomy. The male, as depicted in this illustration, boasts an impressive display of feathers on its head, which can be raised and lowered to attract mates. The female, on the other hand, has a more subdued appearance, with brownish-gray feathers and a shorter crest. The illustration also features a lush fern background, adding to the sense of natural beauty and serenity. Delicate butterflies and various arthropods can be seen among the foliage, adding to the rich biodiversity of the scene. This exquisite hand-colored lithograph is a testament to the skill and artistry of the 19th-century illustrators who worked on The Birds of Asia project. The attention to detail, from the intricate feather patterns to the lifelike depiction of the butterflies and arthropods, is truly remarkable. The Lady Amherst's Pheasant is a rare and elusive bird, found primarily in the highlands of Nepal and Bhutan. Today, it is considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and poaching. This illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and protecting endangered species for future generations to enjoy.
