"Chlamydera Nuchalis Great or Great Grey Bowerbird" is a lithograph by William Matthew Hart, an English artist known for his detailed and colorful illustrations of birds. Hart was active during the 19th century and contributed to several ornithological works, showcasing his skill in capturing the intricacy and beauty of various bird species. The lithograph in question depicts the Great Bowerbird (Chlamydera nuchalis), a species native to Australia known for its remarkable bower-building behavior.

The Great Bowerbird is a member of the Ptilonorhynchidae family, and males are renowned for constructing elaborate structures, or bowers, as part of their courtship rituals to attract mates. These bowers are often decorated with an array of objects collected by the birds, including shells, bones, stones, and man-made items, which they meticulously arrange and rearrange.

William M. Hart's lithograph captures the essence of the Great Bowerbird in its natural habitat, with a focus on the bird's distinctive features such as its grey plumage and the characteristic crest on the nape, which gives the species its name. The artwork likely served both as a scientific representation of the species and as an aesthetic piece, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with natural history and the exotic allure of Australia's wildlife.

While Hart's contributions to ornithological illustration were overshadowed by more prominent figures of the time, such as John Gould, his works remain a testament to the rich tradition of wildlife art in the 19th century. "Chlamydera Nuchalis Great or Great Grey Bowerbird" exemplifies Hart's attention to detail and his ability to convey the unique behaviors and appearances of the birds he depicted, making it a valuable piece for both art enthusiasts and ornithologists.
