Description:
1. Distribution: NT. Along southwestern head of Carpentaria. First described by Mathews Austral Av. Rec. Vol II 1914. 2. Distribution: SA & NT. From Birksgate Range, SA to Ashburton Range, NT. Two races. First described by Mathews Austral Av. Rec. Vol II 1914. Danish born artist who after studying entered the military as a Draughtsman. On leaving Denmark he obtained work at the British History Museum in London. This image is from the last great bird series, The Birds of Australia by G. Matthew’s and is rarer than John Gould’s work on Australian birds, with only 225 sets done. It was the last series produced to use hand colouring rather than colour printed lithography for the illustrations. Original lithograph. Rare.
