The Englishman John Gould had dedicated his life entirely to nature and the animal world. It was practically in his cradle. His uncle, with whom he grew up, looked after the Royal Gardens of Windsor.
He developed a great interest in the history of nature even as a young man. He also hunted birds along the Thames, which he prepared afterwards. Already in his early 20's Gould opened a shop for taxidermy in London. During this time he also began to draw studies of birds. At the end of the 1820s Gould was employed as a curator by the Zoological Society in London. His first publication dates back to 1830 and shows numerous birds from the Himalayan region. The work of the British artist was influenced by the naturalist Charles Darwin, among others. He brought back numerous specimens of exotic animals from his travels around the world. Among them was the Darwin Finch. Darwin had discovered this on the Galapagos Islands. Gould studied the animal carefully and discovered that it was a new, previously undiscovered species of finch.
In collaboration with his wife, the lithographer Elizabeth Coxen, Gould made drawings of all the birds Darwin had brought back from his trip. These were then published in his work The Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle. Among John Gould's most famous works is also a work on the bird life in Australia.
