John Gould – Natural History and Illustration

This collection features original antique prints from the works of John Gould, one of the most important natural history illustrators of the 19th century. Renowned for his monumental publications on birds, Gould’s work combined scientific observation with exceptional artistic quality, helping to shape modern ornithology.

Gould’s publications, including studies of Australian birds and other global fauna, were produced in collaboration with skilled artists such as Elizabeth Gould and later Henry Constantine Richter. These works played a crucial role in documenting species during a period of exploration, colonial expansion and scientific classification.

Original Gould prints are highly sought after for their precision, hand colouring and historical importance, standing as enduring examples of natural history illustration at its highest level.
