Pitta irisstill imageDrawing depicting: Pitta irisGould, John1804-1881artistartGould's layout sketch, color addedLengthy note by Gould (late hand) on identification: "called Iridipitta iris, Gould, in Elliott's book?! / Rainbow dragoon / or Rainbow pitta / should be called Rainbow"; completely different from plate published in 1842 in Birds of Australia IV:3 (popular name Rainbow Pitta), and probably intended as a reworking for the Pittidae monograph. Gould 1147, 1148 and 2019 share a different composition, but the lower bird is very similar to Gould's in this drawing.ksrl_sc_gould_1180.tifku-gould:18902https://digital.lib.ku.edu/ku-gould/189021180OrnithologyOrnithological illustrationPitta iriselectronicimage/tiffreformatted digitaldrawingwatercolor;chalk-charcoal-pastel30 x 40cmUniversity of KansasUniversity of Kansas.
