"Birds of Asia" is a multi-volume ornithological book series created by the English bird artist and ornithologist John Gould. The work, which was published in seven volumes between 1850 and 1883, is renowned for its detailed and vibrant illustrations of the bird species found across the Asian continent. Gould, who was often referred to as the "British Audubon," was a prolific publisher of bird books, and "Birds of Asia" stands as one of his most significant contributions to the field of ornithology.

The series was produced during a time of intense interest in natural history and the study of biodiversity, coinciding with the era of British colonial expansion, which facilitated access to previously unstudied wildlife in Asia. Gould's work played a crucial role in documenting and disseminating knowledge about Asian avifauna to the Western world. Each volume of "Birds of Asia" contains descriptions and hand-colored lithographic plates of the birds, with illustrations often made from specimens sent to Gould by collectors and naturalists from the region.

Gould's wife, Elizabeth Gould, and other artists, including William Matthew Hart and Henry Constantine Richter, contributed to the illustrations. The text accompanying the plates provided scientific descriptions and observations of the birds' habits, distribution, and habitat. "Birds of Asia" is notable for its artistic excellence as well as its scientific value, and the volumes are considered collector's items and important historical records of nineteenth-century ornithology.

The series is part of a larger body of work by Gould, which includes other regionally focused books such as "The Birds of Europe" and "The Birds of Australia." Gould's dedication to his craft and his ability to combine artistry with scientific observation have left a lasting legacy in the field of ornithological illustration and have made "Birds of Asia" a seminal work for both researchers and enthusiasts of bird life.
