"Thrush" by John Gould refers to a series of ornithological illustrations depicting various species of thrushes, which are part of a larger body of work by the English bird artist and ornithologist. John Gould (1804–1881) was a prolific figure in the 19th-century study of birds and is best known for his detailed and vibrant bird illustrations, which contributed significantly to ornithology and the art of bird illustration.

Gould's work on thrushes would have been included in one of his many multi-volume books, such as "The Birds of Europe" (1832–1837) or "The Birds of Great Britain" (1862–1873), which featured hand-colored lithographic plates based on his sketches. These illustrations were not only scientifically valuable for the study of avian anatomy and species identification but also highly regarded for their artistic merit.

Each illustration of a thrush by Gould would typically present the bird in a naturalistic pose, set against a background of its natural habitat. The attention to detail in the plumage, the accuracy of the colors, and the dynamic representation of the birds were hallmarks of Gould's style. His works often involved collaboration with other artists, such as Henry Constantine Richter, William Matthew Hart, and Elizabeth Gould, John's wife, who contributed significantly to the production of the lithographs.

The thrush illustrations, like the rest of Gould's oeuvre, were created through a meticulous process. Gould would first make a detailed sketch, often based on specimens he collected or observed. These sketches were then turned into a lithograph, a printing process that allowed for the mass production of the images. Finally, the lithographs were hand-colored by a team of colorists under Gould's supervision, ensuring that each plate met his exacting standards.

John Gould's thrush illustrations remain an important part of his legacy and are highly sought after by collectors. They continue to be appreciated for their beauty and scientific importance, and originals can be found in museums, libraries, and private collections around the world. Gould's work has had a lasting impact on ornithology, influencing both scientific research and the public's appreciation of birdlife.
