General

Eurylaimus javanicus -- Banded Broadbill. Alternate name on piece: Euirylaimus javanicus [Javan eurylaime] Fully colored drawing, still requiring a little tightening up. At foot, pencil notes "Javanicus Eurylaimus / Asia / from Gould / Orig Gould Drawing." Reversed on the stone. Previously cited as GS30 or 30GS, and so marked on reverse. Artist's name(s): Gould, John; Richter, Henry Constantine. The combination of black ink and non-standard colors in this and Gould item 2292 give them something of a poster-like appearance; their function in the process is not clear; they are two of a very few originals in the collection without a Gould studio/Sotheran provenance.
