This sublime collection of 418 superbly detailed hand-colored lithographs of hummingbirds, created by John Gould, the British Audubon, in the mid-1800s, represents all the known species at that time and is the most complete ever produced of hummingbirds. Unlike John James Audubon, whose work focused on the avifauna of a single country, Gould s folios illustrate species from around the world. His original set of folios—Family of Humming-Birds—reproduced here in its entirety, depicts the magnificent jewel-like birds together with botanicals native to their habitats in the most remote and exotic ecosystems of the Americas. In her essay for the book, co-author Laura Oppenheimer tells the story of Gould s colorful life and places his work in the context of a remarkable period when exploration and classification of the world s natural wonders was at the forefront of scientific discovery and universally celebrated in Victorian popular culture. Joel Oppenheimer details how Gould created the prints and presents an overview of nineteenth-century printmaking and lithography techniques. He also unravels the mystery behind the gold-leaf process that Gould employed to portray the iridescent quality of the hummingbirds plumage, resolving a long-standing controversy regarding who should be credited for its invention. This Family of Hummingbirds will delight birdwatchers, fans of natural history art, and hummingbird lovers everywhere.637512The family of hummingbirds: The complete prints of John Gould11991199https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-family-of-hummingbirds-the-complete-prints-of-john-gould/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6516990/9780847860654.jpg?v=638631706257030000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1788849/9a7185d5-1b16-4635-af04-a7222467465d.jpg?v=638338944185400000InStockMXN10FITapa dura1a Edición20189780847860654_For all the bird lovers, the definitive collection of hummingbird illustrations by 19th-century naturalist painter John Gould, the British Audubon.
