About the Item
John Gould
(English, 1804-1881)
A Gould hummingbird vintage lithograph featuring the Cyanomyia Violiceps, or Violet-Crowned Hummingbird, plate 285 from John Gould’s A Monograph of the Trochilidae, or A Family of Hummingbirds, published in London from 1849-1887.
Gould had a particular fascination with hummingbirds which is reflected in the beauty of this work. He used the technique of applying gold and silver leaf to some of the images to mimic the irridescence of a hummingbird’s wing. This example was originally drawn and colored by John Gould and H.C. Richter.

John Gould
John Gould was an English ornithologist and bird artist. He published several monographs on birds, illustrated by plates that he produced with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and several other artists including Edward Lear, Henry Constantine Richter, Joseph Wolf and William Matthew Hart. Gould has been considered the father of bird study in Australia, and the Gould League in Australia is named after him. His identification of the birds now nicknamed Darwin's finches played a role in the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Gould's work is referenced in Charles Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species.
