About the original

John Gould (1804-1881) published The Birds of Great Britain himself between 1862 and 1873, in 25 parts and 750 copies: 367 hand-coloured lithographs, many showing nests and young. Joseph Wolf, Henry Constantine Richter and William Matthew Hart worked Gould’s sketches up into the finished plates.

Volume 2 of five begins the Insessores, the perching birds: nightjars, swifts and swallows, the Kingfisher and Hoopoe, shrikes, flycatchers, tits, thrushes, chats and warblers, among them the Long-tailed Tit with its young.
