The
Birds of Australia
1910-28 by Gregory Mathews is a
monumental work which took over 18 years to produce, comprising over 630 superb
original hand coloured lithographs,
drawn by J. Keulemans, R. Green and H. Gronvold. Rarer than John Gould’s
work on Australian birds, with only 225 sets ever produced, most of which are
in institutional collections and the last record of the complete individual
lithographs being offered for sale in Australia was over 20 years ago

Henrik Gronvold (1858 - 1940)

Gronvold was a 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. Matthews 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.
