"Platycercus flaveolus" is a lithograph by the English ornithologist and bird artist John Gould. Created in the 19th century, this artwork is part of Gould's extensive body of work documenting birds, not only from his native England but from various parts of the world. John Gould is renowned for his contributions to ornithology and his detailed and vivid bird illustrations, which were often published in large volumes.

The lithograph "Platycercus flaveolus" depicts the Yellow Rosella, a parrot native to southeastern Australia. The species name "flaveolus" is derived from Latin, meaning yellowish, which refers to the bird's predominantly yellow plumage with red, blue, and green accents. This illustration is part of Gould's comprehensive study of Australian birds, which he undertook during his travels to the continent. His works were significant in the field of ornithology for their scientific accuracy and artistic quality, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of avian species.

Gould's illustrations were typically produced through a collaborative process. He would sketch the initial composition, and his wife, Elizabeth Gould, along with other artists, would contribute to the final lithographs. These images were then hand-colored by a team of colorists under Gould's supervision. "Platycercus flaveolus" is an example of this collaborative artistic process and reflects the high standards of craftsmanship and scientific observation that characterize Gould's work.

The lithograph would have been included in one of Gould's major publications, possibly "The Birds of Australia," which was first published in parts between 1840 and 1848. This monumental work contained 600 plates and was the first comprehensive survey of the birds of Australia. Gould's illustrations have had a lasting impact on ornithology and remain valuable to both scientists and art enthusiasts for their historical significance and aesthetic appeal.
