This collection of framed John Gould tropical bird prints from his limited edition of 1000, showcases the remarkable talent of the 19th-century British ornithologist. We have the privilege of presenting 7 of these prints, each priced and sold individually. Encased in custom wooden frames and protected under glass, these prints emanate both historical significance and unparalleled beauty. John Gould (1804-1881), celebrated not only for his entrepreneurial prowess but also for his contributions to ornithology, is best known for his folio volumes of exquisite color-plate illustrations. Despite not completing any of the illustrations himself, his ability to orchestrate a team of dedicated artists, lithographers, and colorists allowed for the production of nearly 3,000 unique images, many of which depicted previously unknown species. These framed prints serve as a testament to Gould's legacy, embodying the fusion of art and science.
