A brief history of the artist:
John Gould (1804-1881) is often considered the “Audubon of Great Britain” due to his well-known production of color plates of birds in the mid 19th century. Gould worked with other well-known print artists and colorists such as Henry Constantine Richter or HC Richter (1821-1902), who is featured on this particular work.
