Birds of Europe - Oppenheimer Editions

Our Oppenheimer Editions publication of John Gould’s Birds of Europe offers modern limited-edition prints of this historic folio. First issued in 1832, John Gould’s folio, Birds of Europe, contains 448 hand-colored lithographs that depict the avifauna found throughout the European continent. Many of the plates were rendered by Gould’s wife Elizabeth, and by Edward Lear who regularly contributed to Gould’s publications. Our modern edition prints faithfully capture the subtlety and delicacy of Gould’s original lithographs.
