Craspedophora magnifica
General
Litho print; non-standard coloring?: colors vary from KU bound volumes. See note to Gould item 2086. The colors of the praepectoral shield on the male in Birds of New Guinea I: 13 differ from those in Sharpe's Birds of Paradise
I:13 in the bound volumes, but other parts of the plate, including the cloud formations seem to follow a common model, and show a uniformly superior handling of the brush compared with some of those in the group Gould item 2086-2108. Previously published at Birds of New Guinea I: 13 under the name Graspedophora magnifica (but correct in text), printed by Walter. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Hart, William Matthew.
