If you love birds, you’ll want this beautifully Framed John Gould lithograph of  Ceriornis Temminckii,  color print, one of six hand-colored ornithological lithographs. John Gould is arguably the most famous British ornithologist and has truly earned the nickname “the Birdman” with his prolific publication of as many as nearly 3,000 paintings of Birds!  Often referred to as the "British Audubon, during his stay in England, America’s James Audubon met with John Gould, and it may have been influenced by Audubon's life-like paintings of birds. Gould’s birds were printed as hand-colored stone lithographs, with most of the initial compositional drawings made by John Gould himself with subsequent background detail fill-in and hand-coloring work done by some of the most talented artists that he employed.
