JOHN GOULD - COLORED OFFSET LITHOGRAPH
This 60 year old four-colored lithograph is from "THE BEST OF JOHN GOULD'S TROPICAL BIRDS", published in Germany in 1955.
John Gould (1804-1881) was one of the most prominent natural history print artists creating almost 3,000 different hand-colored lithographic plates of birds and animals. He was born in England. Gould had no formal university training and considered himself a self-made man. He gained his ornithological knowledge by observation and experience. Nevertheless his contributions to this science were so vast that in 1843 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society.
In his pursuit of new and different birds, John Gould traveled to Asia, Australia and the East Indies. His series of natural history plates is considered by many as the finest works of bird illustrations ever created.
