“John Gould (1804-1881) holds an important place in the history of ornithology and natural history illustration. He was a pioneering naturalist who collaborated with Charles Darwin, a taxonomist, publisher, and collector. His magnificent folio works, published over six decades, are celebrated for their scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. They were the product of a collaborative process, in which Gould worked closely with such renowned artists as Edward Lear and Joseph Wolf. The results elevated ornithological illustration to new heights.” – PeterHarrington.co.uk
