Puffin chick being fed fish, Puffins fishing, and Puffins on cliff in background. Original hand-coloured lithograph by Henry Constantine Richter from the drawing by 'The Bird Man' John Gould for "Birds of Great Britain" published in London between 1862 and 1873.
John Gould (1804-1881) employed the best lithographers to create large hand-coloured lithographs that are some of the finest bird illustrations ever done. Gould had an excellent eye for detail, and closely supervised the work of his lithographers.
