Diphogena aurora (Gould's Rainbow)

Characterized by vivid, hand-colored lithography, the work features distinctive color contrasts, such as bright greens and browns against a subdued sky, typical of Gould's collaborative illustrative approach.

Part of Gould's broader ornithological contributions, this print is associated with his influential works, notably *The Birds of Australia*, though its specific provenance within this series or others is not detailed here.

Created amidst Gould's collaborations with artists like Elizabeth Gould, Edward Lear, and Henry Constantine Richter, the piece reflects the era's advancements in ornithological study and illustration.
