More Details
Celebrate John and Elizabeth Gould’s classic collection of bird lithographs with the H.M.S. Beagle series of Aurum® gold fine art prints. The John and Elizabeth Gould Collection – H.M.S. Beagle includes the lithograph artwork of the Cactus Finch, Darwin’s Rhea, Galapagos Hawk, Saffron Blackbird, and Tawny Owl.
John Gould was a notable ornithologist, and his wife, Elizabeth Gould, produced beautiful, intricate illustrations to supplement his monographs. Working in concert with several lithographers, the Goulds created one of the most extensive collections of ornithological lithographs of the 1800s. John Gould worked closely with Charles Darwin to identify and categorize bird specimens collected during Darwin’s second HMS Beagle expedition to the Galapagos Islands. Gould and Darwin published their discovery of several new species unique to the islands.
