The Birds of Australia

By John Gould, 1804-1881

John Gould (1804-1881) published The Birds of Australia between 1840 and 1848: seven volumes with 600 hand-coloured lithographs, the first comprehensive survey of the continent’s birds. Gould and his wife Elizabeth collected in Australia from 1838; she drew 84 plates before her death in 1841, and H. C. Richter worked most of the rest up from her drawings.
