Prints » John Gould » Birds of Australia
The Birds of Australia (1840-48) was the culmination of a gruelling two-year visit to Australia. It also marks a stylistic turning point, as Gould began the project with his wife and Edward Lear as his artists, but ended it with only Henry Constantine Richter. However, he went on to develop a very successful partnership with Richter, who worked on all of his subsequent publications.
