Pair of colored bird and botanical lithographs by Gould and Richter, impressed by Hullmandel and Walton.  French mats are faded from age; frames are gilded with beaded edge.  Sight size is 13.75"W x 20.5"H; frame size is 21.5"W x 29"H. John Gould (1804-1881]) was an English ornithologist and artist. He, like his American contemporary John James Audubon, published a number of books on birds in the mid 19th century, illustrated by hand-colored lithographs. Gould had a fascination for hummingbirds and collected specimens of 320 varieties before ever seeing a live hummingbird on a trip to the United States in 1857.
