John Gould
1804-1881, English ornithologist and publisher
In nineteenth-century Europe the name of John Gould was as well known as Audubon’s in North America. Unlike Audubon, who painted one continent, Gould travelled widely and worked with a team of artists, among them Joseph Wolf, Henry Constantine Richter and William Matthew Hart, on his large hand-coloured lithographs.
Nearly 3,000 plates appeared in more than forty volumes, from the Himalaya Mountains to Australia, Asia, Great Britain and New Guinea. He is still called the father of bird study in Australia.
