19th-century British artist John Gould enjoyed a prolific publishing career that lasted over half a century and oversaw the issuance of more than a dozen folios examining birds from all over the world. Gould recruited the talents of natural history illustrators including Edward Lear in order to create his luscious folios. Among Gould’s best-known artwork are the monumental Family of Humming Birds, Birds of Europe, Birds of Great Britain, and the Family of Toucans.
