About the original

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.

Volume 2 of seven: owlet-nightjars, frogmouths and nightjars, swifts and swallows, kingfishers, woodswallows and pardalotes, then crow-shrikes, cuckoo-shrikes, whistlers, fantails and flycatchers.
