handwriting at top of printed sheet My regards to your wife and Tommy - Janice

printed sheet JOHN GOULD, Artist-Naturalist England, 1804-1881

John Gould was not only a lover of birds but an artist of marked ability, having produced many exquisite paintings of beautiful birds during his lifetime.

He was ably assisted by his talented wife, whose artistic skills enabled her to duplicate her husband's originals on plates for printing. Thus, the art of John Gould has been preserved for more than a century.

The illustration on the cover is a miniature of one of the original folio prints which are now extremely rare, and highly valued by collectors.

SISKIN found in great numbers in the British Isles, and often made a pet since it is a friendly little bird. These specimens are perched on the branch of an Alder.
