Prints » John Gould » Birds of Asia
Given the vast geographical scope of his work (from Syria to Japan to the Moluccas), it is hardly surprising that the Birds of Asia spanned 30 years (1850-83). It brought to the public attention many previously unknown species, including magnificent pheasants from China. These were given to Gould by the amateur naturalist Robert Swinhoe, an intriguing example of the regard in which Gould and his work were held by the Victorian public.
