About the Item
The antique bird print titled 'Rectes Leucorhynchus' showcases the White-billed Wood-Shrike. Originating from John Gould's significant work, 'Birds of New Guinea and the adjacent Papuan Islands,' this print is dated between 1875 and 1888.

John Gould
John Gould was an English ornithologist and bird artist. He published several monographs on birds, illustrated by plates that he produced with the assistance of his wife, Elizabeth Gould, and several other artists including Edward Lear, Henry Constantine Richter, Joseph Wolf and William Matthew Hart. Gould has been considered the father of bird study in Australia, and the Gould League in Australia is named after him. His identification of the birds now nicknamed Darwin's finches played a role in the inception of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Gould's work is referenced in Charles Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species.
