English zoological illustrator who produced a very large number coloured lithographs of birds and mammals, mainly for John Gould. In 1841 Richter was contacted by the zoologist John Gould, who urgently needed an illustrator, after the death of his wife Elizabeth Coxen (1804-1841). Gould and Richter worked together for forty years, until Gould died in 1881. Richter created about 3,000 lithographic plates and watercolours for Gould.
