Addional Notes:

 

John Gould's hand coloured folio size lithographs of birds along with Audubon's Havell edition of Birds of America are undoubtedly the finest bird art in existence. No reproduction of these works can quite convey their beauty. There were just 486 subscriers to the Birds of Great Britain.
