About this product

Product Information

In 1838, John Gould and his wife, Elizabeth, left behind their family and home in London to travel to the far-flung colony of Van Diemen's Land, from where Gould would travel around the mainland to observe the native fauna. Gould's artists-Elizabeth foremost among them-would depict these creatures in exquisite lithographs, accompanied by Gould's commentary. With all the acumen of a shrewd Victorian entrepreneur, Gould established a thriving business that took him into the world of the British aristocracy and the scientific elite. His is a tale of enduring love and of a man's unending ability to see beauty in nature, despite the greatest of life's tragedies.

    First class seller. The book's condition is exactly as described. It was very well packed, and has travelled well. It has also arrived speedily. It represents, for me, very good value for money, it being a book I was particularly keen to get hold of. Very impressive service.
