About This Item
Produced for the John Gould Inc. exhibition at the Australian Museum April-July 2004. John Gould, a man who could hardly draw, is now considered the creator of some of the world's greatest bird art. He recognised a gap in knowledge about Australia's birds and mammals and left England in 1838 on a 19 month field trip. It is estimated that over half a million hand coloured plates were produced under the Gould name by 5 main artists and lithographers. 24 pages with 12 colour illustrations. In near fine condition with minor mark on front cover (see photo)..
