Birds

The Birds of Asia is John Gould’s masterpiece, published between 1850 and 1883. It contains 530 hand-coloured lithographs featuring some of the most beautifully exotic species (such as trogons, sunbirds, and pheasants). The work represents a monumental achievement in 19th-century ornithological publishing.
