A man of vision with a talent for organization and administration, he founded an empire for ornithological illustration, publishing more than forty large folio volumes. These works contained over 3,000 plates, all superbly drawn and meticulously hand colored. The first work appeared in 1831 and the last in 1888, seven years after Gould's death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be rolled up and delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ section for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206152200579,"sku":"LB2PC","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.2753842864_gyut.jpg?v=1768961198","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/vintage-john-gould-birds-heron-herodias-63308","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
